My Memories

I have seen the eagle from different points of the OSP to see where it looks the best. I think the eagle looks best from broad street just outside the Paccar Pavillion. I would always take this route to go to the vivarioum. From here the Eagle is quite faraway, however you have view of the umobstructed expanse of the sky. It almost feels like a eagle that is perched on a tall tree looking out.I love this view of the eagle

Alexander Calder

Before venturing into the art world, Calder found employ as a mechanical engineer, and the influence of his previous occupation is rarely more evident than in this particular work, the pride of the Seattle Art Museum Park. Large metal stationary statues such as this Alexander Calder sculpture are called “stabiles” and are the form in which the artist found international renown. Originally displayed in front of the Fort Worth National Bank until 1999, the sculpture was purchased specifically to be showcased in this Seattle Art Museum Park, making news in art reviews and national papers all across the country.
