The Sculpture Scene in Seattle

Jonathan Borofsky. Hammering Man, 1992
Modern and contemporary sculpture thrives in Seattle with anchor collections at the Chihuly Museum and the Olympic Sculpture Park.  While exploring the downtown district, one encounters works by internationally known artists such as Jonathan Borofsky and Henry Moore. Borofsky’s colossal steel figure, entitled Hammering Man, stands outside the entrance to the Seattle Art Museum. Watch for a minute as the Man’s left arm brings down the hammer.  A recent visit to Seattle inspired me to create a photographic sampling of the city’s sculpture which is linked at:
