Sculpture Milwaukee

Sculpture Milwaukee is back with 21 sculptures along Wisconsin Avenue.  Three are repeats from last year but the rest will not disappoint.  My husband and I checked them all out over our lunch hour one day last week. 

Here are the sculptures starting with the closest to the Lake (those with an* are on the north side of Wisconsin with the remaining ones on the south side):

1.  Love, by Robert Indiana*

2. Seer (Alice II) by Kiki Smith* is hidden in the gardens outside the brand new Northwestern Mutual building

3. Reason to Be by Jessica Jackson Hutchins is a reclaimed bus shelter

4. The Group of Five by Magdalena Abakanowicz - I understand this artist has a piece of work at the corner of Kilbourn and Cass that I should check out sometime.

5.  Half Big Suit by Erwin Wurm - this may be my favorite and one you have to see in person to truly appreciate

6.  Big Time by Richard Deacon - a work of juxapositions

7.  Untitled (Burgher with Extended Arm) by Liz Glynn

8.  Blue Bra Girls by Ghada Amer* - here is one that you need to look at from many angles

9.  Bam (Seated Warrior) by Sanford Biggers*

10.  Mood Sculpture by Tony Tasset - part of last year's Sculpture Milwaukee

11.  Nostalgia by Yoan Capote - another of my favorites

12.  Untitled by Bosco Sodi*

13.  Skew by Shana McCaw and Brent Budsberg

14.  Liberty by Hank Willis Thomas* - This one combines the Statue of Liberty with Harlem Globetrotters

15.  Hazmat Love by Tom Friedman - who doesn't love men in tinfoil?

16.  Tower (Gubbio) by Sol Lewitt* - part of last year's Sculpture Milwaukee

17.  97.5* Arc x 9 by Bernar Venet*

18.  Bud (Bronze) by Gary Hume* - This one is a neat contrast between optimism and pessimism. 

20.  Marker #2 by Mel Kendrick* - This one is much more complex than first meets the eye.

21.  Stealing Shadows, Michelangelo by Ana Prvacki - This sculpture was not yet up yet but I look forward to checking it out when it is and will post pictures at that time.

Not numbered - Zach's Tower by John Henry - part of last year's Sculpture Milwaukee

I encourage you to take a walk down Wisconsin Avenue between the lake and 6th Street and enjoy these great sculptures while they are here this summer.
