Minneapolis Sculpture Gardens – Signed Fine Art Print
$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Minneapolis Sculpture Gardens:
The Minneapolis Sculpture Gardens is a large park that covers about 11 acres in the western part of the downtown area. It sits in front of the Walker Art Center, which operates it in connection with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. It is one of the largest open air, urban sculpture gardens in the world and features important works from many prominent 3D artists and sculptors. The most famous and recognizable of these is the ‘Spoonbridge & Cherry” by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. The grounds also includes a large conservatory that houses a glass sculpture called “Standing Glass Fish.” At one time, the park was connected to Loring Park to the east, but the construction of I-94 cleaved the park in two. However, with the addition of pedestrian bridge designed by Siah Armajani the two parts of the park were again connected.

Artist’s notes:
The drawing of the overview of the Minneapolis Sculpture Gardens was completed in the late summer of 1994. It is based upon sketches and photos I took from the walking bridge that connected the gardens to Loring Park. At the time, I wasn’t aware that the sculpture – even the very large ones – would be rotated in and out of the gardens. I was surprised, and perhaps a little disappointed, that the large sculpture that figured prominently in the drawing had been removed and new ones were now installed in it’s place. But in the end, I’m happier that the Walker Art Center takes this course of action, keeping the sculpture gardens fresh and interesting with new artwork.

Minnesota State Capitol Building, Saint Paul – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Minnesota State Capitol:
The Minnesota State Capitol is located in Saint Paul. The building was completed in 1905 at a cost of $4.5 million dollars. The architect was Cass Gilbert, who designed many prominent buildings in the central US. Gilbert took his inspiration from Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. The unsupported dome of the building is the second largest in the world, behind Saint Peter's. It is the third building to serve as Minnesota's capitol. The first burned down in 1881, and the second was deemed too small almost immediately after completion. One of the most notable features of the building are the gold gilded horses at the base of the dome in the front. This piece of art was designed and sculpted by Daniel Chester French and Edward Clark Potter. The four horses represent the power of nature: earth, fire, water and wind. At one time, the building had German quotations on the wall, but these were painted over during the tide of anti-German sentiment during World War II. These were later restored. The capitol building houses the Senate, House of Representatives, the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of the Governor.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:

Saint Mary’s Basilica, Minneapolis – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the The Basilica of Saint Mary's:
The Basilica of Saint Mary's in Minneapolis, Minnesota has the distinction of being the very first basilica established in the United States. It is the co-cathedral Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, along with the Cathedral of Saint Paul. The church is done in the style of Beaux-Arts architecture, and is considered to be one of the finest examples of this style in the nation. Construction began on the church in 1907 and was completed in 1915. The building was designed by renowned Frano-American architect Emmanuel Louis Masqueray (who also helped design the Cathedral of Saint Paul, but died while the building was still being planned.) in 1991, the entire copper roof was replaced due to the fact the original one was leaking water and causing damage to the interior of the church. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
