That's a goodie -- it's only a few blocks from the two I posted above. It's quite a rich area in that respect.

For anyone who likes monumental outdoor sculptures, Storm King is an incredible place to visit, especially in the fall when the leaves turn color...

I love the Modern. It's hard to talk about sculpture in this area nowadays without at least mentioning the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas.

Here's one of my favorite pieces from there:

And one from an artist who survived life in German-occupied, and later communist Poland:

A friend of mine did a project involving public sculpture in Philadelphia. She's a poet. She focused on statues with weapons. I'm not sure how the linked site works (I can't check it out with sound while I am at work). :shrug:

I didn't mention the Nasher because those are inside the Museum rather than out in a public place. I should mention North Park Mall in Dallas, which is owned by the Nasher family and is full of interesting sculptures.

Thanks for asking Matt, can't complain. Or, I could, but it wouldn't be taken well. Budapest is pretty great this time of year, getting better, and when I need a break I take off for Italy or Spain. Currently working plans B through G since plan A, subject of infamous drunk posting, is still in the US. Un?fortunately none of them have a six foot tall vagina. You?
