Last week I was at a conference in Manhattan, and walking down Park Avenue came upon these colorful aluminium sculptures in front of the building, The Seagram. They are an exhibition of four monumental sculptures by the late artist John Chamberlain. Soaring to a height of fifteen feet, the four playfully twisted sculptures are constructed from silver, green and copper industrial aluminum. The aluminum material has a reflective and texturized surface that respond to changes in the atmosphere, altering the overall appearance of each sculpture. Therefore, depending on the time of the day, light plays a pivotal role in adding another facet to exploring these wonders.
Jake’s Sunday Post is Wonderful, and these sculptures seem to fit the bill.

Thanks Gilly, now that’s an interesting observation – people in yoga poses – if only I could do some of that 🙂

These statues are amazing and complex, and yet so simple, wrapping huge nails round and round. Your images have filled me with wonder 🙂

Thanks Marion. These sculptures are on exhibit only for a few more days and I was happy to have seen the unusual sight.

Cool! I didn’t know he did these – he’s well known for the crashed auto/crumpled metal pieces – these are very different, but I can see the relation. The top one probably almost glows in the dark – that could be good for the next black-out, no? ; )

It was an overcast afternoon when I happened to get these pictures, and the sculptures looked unusually bright – so I guess they might be glow in darkness.

Yes, it is different from the usual sculptures, and that is what prompted me to take a couple of pictures.

They are nails aren’t they! To see beauty in the mundane is itself wonderful. To create a work of art from it is genius!

Thanks Jo – I just happened to be on that street or would never have known about it.
