Berkeley's Public Art

I think every city should have its own public art work. The city of Berkeley has a few of its own, these are the ones that I spotted, perhaps there are more of them around somewhere (if you spot them, please let me know.)



To my son-Anh Vu, this looks like a piano tuning fork. It sits between Center Street and Shattuck Avenue in downtown Berkeley.



This sculpture is on Addison Street and Shattuck Avenue in the downtown area.





La Pena Community Center is on Shattuck Avenue near Ashby Avenue.



The giant ball is near the entrance of University Berkeley campus-University Avenue and Oxford Street.



HERE is in Berkeley.




THERE is in Oakland. These are in between Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Adeline Street, and they are about 20 feet apart. I would use different colors to make them stand out more.



As you get off the Amtrak train station in Berkeley, you are greeted by these big, red pillars and the poem.



Underneath the freeway-overpass on Fourth-Fifth Street and University Ave. was very ugly, dark and dirty until they painted it and added the poem.



The bronze man sits on the corner of Fourth Street and Hearst Street.



The sign in the corner says "Do Not Climb on Structure." But someone covered up the word Not.






I found these sculptures in Berkeley Marina around 3 in the afternoon just like the sun dial showed.
