This sculpture, "City People", by American born artist Catherine Widgery is located on Front St across from Union Station (our main train/transit station). Installed in 1989, it consists a couple of dozen figures in painted aluminum. Some are stationary and mounted on the wall but if you continue up the stairs to the deck many are mounted on pedestals and move in the wind. It is a very cheerful installation and on an early Sunday morning these bystanders fit in perfectly.
A very clever installation. You are so right, the people seem to blend right in with the art.
ReplyDeleteHa, they do actually fit in.
ReplyDeleteYep I like it
ReplyDeleteI like that! Here I am so close to Toronto and I have never seen it! Thanks for posting this photo.
ReplyDeleteThose are great!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favourite pieces of urban artwork in the Financial District. Great picture... I know from experience it is hard to get a good picture of it - given the odd angles of the stairs and sidewalk.
ReplyDeleteCool composition!

Wow! Yet another piece of terrific art in Toronto! Thanks for sharing.
