Art in the Park: Seattle’s Olympic Sculpture Park

Wave by Richard Serra, Olympic Sculpture Park, Seattle
The Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park is one of Seattle’s best bargain destinations. Admission is free! It’s located right on the waterfront overlooking Elliott Bay, so you can enjoy superb views while you view the art.

The view of the Calder with the eraser in the foreground offers such a unique contrast of scale. I’ve never bothered to walk down to the eraser, but I will next time!

I’m never sure I’ll be able to find a unique viewpoint for a photo. I, too, felt this was a great shot. Thanks for your comment.

Wow!!!! I love The Wave! The shadows are excellent! Thanks for sharing all of the beauty in your area. Admission is in my price range but getting there isn’t :(. Take care!

The Wave is my favorite, too, I think. It’s interesting how rusting steel weathers — all the colors in what looks like rusty metal. I love the crevasses that appear, widen, and narrow between the hulking pieces as you walk around them. And I love looking at the shadows, if I’m lucky enough to be there on a sunny day.

Another set of great photos thanks, I particularly like the rope ones, and the red chairs.
