Located on the South Street Bridge connecting to Penns Landing, Stroll has to be one of my favorite public pieces of art in all of Philadelphia!

Public Art Along 600 South Front Street
These beautiful approximately 1 foot square pieces of art were hanging on the wire mesh walls along Front Street overlooking I-95. There was no sign as to who they belong to. It was unclear to me exactly why they are there but they are really nice and hope they don't get stolen, unless the artist wants them to be....

Penn Park at Dusk
I went to Penn Park hoping for a good shot of the skyline at dusk but there were too many bright lights to accomplish that. I did however, get some very nice shots...

Art Sculptures on Penn Campus
Riding my bike through Penn Campus, I saw some very nice public work of art.
Pan with Sun Dial by Beatrice Fenton
“Ben on the Bench” sculpture by George Lundeen at 37th Street and Locust Walk was a gift from the Class of 1962 and was presented to the University for the class’ 25th reunion in 1987. The piece shows Franklin reading The Pennsylvania Gazette, one of his own publications.
Love Sculpture by Robert Indiana
Installed in 1998, Robert Indiana’s “LOVE” statue, on Locust Walk near 36th Street, was a gift from Jeffrey and Sivia Loria. It is one of several variations of the sculpture created by Indiana between 1966 and 1998. Another one resides in Center City’s LOVE Park (or JFK Plaza)
