These are the last of the pictures from last Sunday's visit to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art that I'm going to post. My imagination was captured as much by the little boy sitting watching the movements of the Chris Burden sculpture as I was by the sculpture itself. Burden was the artist who gathered street lights and installed them in front of the museum... He called it Urban Light. The sculpture above, which he calls Metropolis I or II, I can't remember if it is I or II. The work features Hot Wheels zooming around a model city on single-lane roadways. Nearby is a remarkable sculpture which the artist Richard Serra calls Band. It is 12 feet tall and more than 70 feet long. It is steel and very impressive.
