What on earth is that thing framing those palm trees?
It's a sculpture that sits on the grounds of the Phoenix Art Museum. I couldn't find a plaque for this one so I can't tell you who the artist is but, I do know that it has been in various locations around the museum for many, many years.

I have surprised myself: I like it. And I love the frame!
Nice frame, Sharon, and I like the whole sculpture in the 2nd shot too!
I'm enjoying the juxtaposition of the sculpture in the foreground and the 'structured' building behind. Two worlds in one.
I thought of Alexander Calder when I saw the top shot but it's definitely not his style. Great framing and colours.
Sharon, I can imagine your disppointment when you realized you couldn't take a shot at Poirot's building. I wonder how you found it... :-)
It certainly does stand out!
It's a dynamic piece.. Love your framing here Sharon, so many possibilities with this one..
I do like the way you framed those palm trees Sharon! Orange is not my favorite color, but it sure does make this piece hard to miss.
I'm like JM - I first though of Calder until I saw the 2nd shot. You will have to investigate. ;-)
I'll bet it is by Alexander Lieberman. Google Storm King big red sculpture and you will see a piece very much like this.
Even easier. Google Alexander Lieberman Phoenix.
So nice to see it's still out there.
Perfect framing and perfect color for Arizona. A trademark.
Interesting concept -- slices of a cylinder. It makes a great frame! Good eye, as always. :)
i've seen similar large bright orange pieces in several other cities.
That is so cool!
