Olympic Sculpture Garden - Seattle, WA

I had been waiting months to see the new Olympic Sculpture Garden in Seattle and finally was able to about six months after it opened. I'd been seeing articles in the national journals about it and was so impressed that Seattle and the Seattle Art Museum would take approximately 28 acres of run down post-industrial land and transform it into a jewel for large-scale public art composed of many of the blue chip contemporary artists. People just can't resist knocking on the Richard Serra "Wave" piece as they walk through it, even though, there are signs that say, "please don't touch the sculpture". The vistas are amazing, viewing the individual pieces with the backdrops of the Olympic mountain range to the west and Mt.Rainer to the south.
The video was shot with our long time friends of over 30 yrs., Rick and Maureen Irey, who live close to Seattle. One memorable comment told by Maureen was that younger people don't know what the Claes Oldenburg "Eraser" piece is. It's an icon of a by-gone era, but oh so recognizable to those of us, who used them in school and home.
