Sculpture King-Front

August 2017 - Toronto ON

These sculptures are in and around Front St. and King St. from Blue Jays Way to Simcoe St.



I continue to use the book Creating Memory and the website dittwald.com for information on the sculptures I find around town.

“It is one of the few sculptures in Toronto that people notice, remember and talk about,” John Warkentin writes in his book, “Creating Memory: A Guide to Outdoor Public Sculpture in Toronto.”

Remembered Sustenance, as it’s called, was created by artist Cynthia Short, and is made up of 19 bronze animals. Some of the animals seem to be walking towards a bronze dish, which sits below a curtain with bronze birds perched on top of it. Others are walking away from it.

Untitled (mountain) is a water-jet cut aluminium sculpture created by internationally renowned British artist Anish Kapoor. He has intended the work to be open and rich with potential metaphoric and symbolic meanings, as an actual mountain might be.
