Moving the Sculptures

 

In addition to the new amphitheaters at the Scottsdale Civic Center Park, it looks like all the sculptures that were there before have returned.  They are just in new locations.  It would have been fun to see them being moved around.  The LOVE sculpture is in a new location but still expressing its message of peace. 

Louise Nevelson's Windows to the West has moved from one end of the park to the opposite end.  It should get more attention in this location where a lot more people will see it.  By the way, the full name of this sculpture is "Atmospheres and Environments XIII: Windows to the West".  


And good old, Herb Drinkwater has been moved only a few feet to a new location.  I did a post about this statue three years ago.

He served as mayor to Scottsdale from 1980 to 1996 and was loved by everyone.  You can read more about his accomplishments in the link above.

He's seen in this statue with his dog Sadie who was by his side most of the time.

It is good to replace them so now and than, other people can have a look at them.

I like the Nevelson sculpture. Herb is a little too literal for me, but the dog is a touching addition.

I like that Nevelson piece a lot too, Sharon.

That last one looks like quite a character.
