Minneapolis Sculpture Garden

Claes Oldenburg & Coosje van Bruggen's Spoonbridge and Cherry 1985-1988
OK..OK..it's not Black and White Only, but I couldn't resist!


Cowles Conservatory "Fish Pond"
Frank Gehry's Standing Glass Fish 1986. The Walker Art Museum brochure tells this story of the inspiration for this glass, wood, and steel sculpture.."When artist/architect Frank Gehy was a child, his grandmother brought live carp on Thursdays to make into gefilte fish on Fridays. She'd let the fish swim in the bathrub overnight, where Gehry would play with them. This memory inspired the artist to create this 22-foot high construction that rises out of a lily pond among the palms."
