Exploring Everyday Philadelphia

A casual stroll through parts of Philadelphia will reveal a treasure trove of art displays that you don’t want to miss. The “city of brotherly love” is brimming with art displays that you just can’t resist capturing on film. You can start your tour at 15^th street in downtown Philadelphia. It’s there that you would find a most unusual 45-feet Clothespin sculpture. Made out of steel, this sculpture was created by Claes Oldenburg in 1976. Elsewhere and not to far away just northwest of City Hall are the bright and bold red colors that form the word “LOVE”. This is located at the John F Kennedy Plaza which is popularly known as “The Love Park.” This 1976 Robert Indiana sculpture truly echoes the feeling of the city’s residents. The LOVE sculpture is one of those often duplicated through the United States and even in Taiwan.
