Metal Sculptures

Anish Kapoor

I am from Chicago and have seen this "bean" in person. Many people go there to take pictures of there reflections and post them on myspace or facebook. I find this sculpture very cool because of its size and the fact that it shows your reflection!
Mark De Suvero

This tall red sculpture is visually interesting and I think the texture is interesting. The bright color pops with the green in nature. 
David Harber

Is a a sleek design and simplistic with its organice shapes. It reflects the water nicely and the size of it is overpowering. 
Imogen Stuart

I like the worn texture of this piece (the bronze quality). It is a formally stylistic piece. 
Donald Judd

This is a minimalists piece that deals with its color and lighting reflection. 
Eduardo Paolozzi
Juan Munoz
Bill Woodrow

I do not think this is visually pleasing but the concept is interesting. The fact that it was placed in front of  what looks like a school and the size of the piece makes it funny. 
Richard Hunt

Richard's piece is a nice visual piece but it is not interesting enough. Along with the high rise buildings, it fits in.. which could be a bad or good thing. 
Damian Ortega

I enjoy this piece a lot. Damian uses sculpting tools and suspends them to form a target in the middle. It is very interesting to look and would be even better in person! The concept is not straight forward but that keeps the viewer interested. 
John Buckley

This piece is funny, the fact that it was placed on a roof of a house is hysterical because you do not normally see sharks out of water. 
Do Ho Suh

The craftsmanship on this piece is amazing. Since it is all made of metal tags makes it so compelling to look at. 
Jeff Koons

I am not a fan of Jeff Koons's work but these pieces are magical. The proportions were played with and they look so REAL.

Michel De Broin
Louise Bourgeois
Tony Cragg

I love Tony's sculptures just for the fact that he places them in nature. They conform very nicely to their surroundings. He uses organic forms on both of the sculptures above and below. The bronze and turquoise are nice accents in these pieces.

Henry Moore
John Bisbee

For my first metal project I was thinking about working with nails.. John works with nails in an interesting way. He thinks about the shape and textures of them and it works nicely with the figures that he chooses.
