DeCordova Museum Sculpture Park - Part 2

The DeCordova Museum has wonderful architecture. The 3 leaf pieces you see in the foreground are The Endangered Species of New England by Alan Sonfist created in 2011.
The view are stunning from its 6th floor terrace. I wish I got a better photo of the whimsical white column with the rabbit ears to the right. It is titled Children of the Corn by Terence Koh created in 2011. This artist is very inspired by the writings of Stephen King.
Flints pond is next door.
The roof is full of charm.
These hearts in the distance were created in 1985 by Jim Dine title Two Big Black Hearts
Up close they are massive and you will find all sorts of objects cast into its bronze.
Below is Vision created by Blane de St. Croix in 2003. It is a bleached and stained Australian pine tree covered in glass eyes for as far up as you can see! 
A few more sculptures I enjoyed.
Eve Celebrant by Marianna Pineda created 1991
This one was in a beautiful wooded area.
Maiden's Dream by Isaac Witkin created 1996
This rock garden includes a tranquil water feature!
Rain Gates by Ron Rudnicki created 2000
I hope you have enjoyed this tour of the DeCordova Museum sculpture park. I have only showed about half the pieces. I didn't have time to tour the inside of the museum but I'm sure that would be a treat too!

Thank you for stopping by! ~Val

DeCordova Museum Sculpture Park - Part 1

The DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum is located in Lincoln, MA. This place is family friendly and perfect for exposing children to art.
My favorite part is the garden with sculptures throughout.
Eternal Presence by John Wilson created 1987
This head sculpture was one of my favorites! There it is off in the distance.
I did think Mad Hatter when I saw this one.
A Mile From Any Neighbor From Walden by Christopher Frost created 1999
This one looks like she is hiding in the grass.
Figure From the Sea by Elliot Offner created 1964
Feral Goose by  Kitty Wales created 2005
This sculpture stands tall and proud!
Venusvine by Richard Rosenblum created 1990

Time at the Museum by Robert Schelling created 2002
I'll be back with part 2 next week! This gem of a museum is 1 town away from where Walden Pond and the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery are located.

Thank you for stopping by! ~Val
