My visit to a Sculpture Garden

The other day I visited the sculpture garden on the National Mall in the 7th street. I was really spell bounded by the beauty of the marvelous sculptures on display. There are a total of seventeen installations of famous sculptures. The sculptures include the works of Claes Oldenburg’s Typewriter Eraser, Scale X and Joan Miro’s Personnage Gothique, Oiseau-Éclair. All these are put up for display on the sprawling 6.1-acre block which is adjacent to the west building. One thing I noticed was the authenticity which the National Gallery of Art was trying to preserve the sculptures.

Among those sculptures the one I really liked was that of Claes Oldenburg’s Typewriter Eraser. It is a big eraser, brown in color fabricated with blue colored wires attaching to it, giving itself a giant eraser image. One would be marveled by the work done by the artist, who should have taken some real pains to create that amazing piece. For those sculpture enthusiasts who want to check it out and also about other works just go to the National Mall at 7th Street and Constitution Avenue NW. (The National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden is bounded by Constitution Avenue and Madison Drive, and 7th and 9th Streets NW.
