Calder Sculpture Update
After posting below about the departed Calder stabile on the Ben Franklin Parkway, Inquirer photographer Eric Mencher wrote to tell me about a series of images he made in the Calder Sculpture Garden. There are some lovely photographs of the sculptor's work, along with assorted other photographs on Mencher's blog. Take a look. You have to scroll down a bit for the Calders.

AWESOME photos, thanks for linking him.
I did get a chuckle when I was eating my cereal today. The Genuardis/Safeway brand of frosted mini-wheats had "Fun with Famous Artists" on the back and a little ditty about Calder! It has a picture of the mobile; maybe we could assemble a pyramid of mini-wheat boxes at the sculpture site! LOL Check out the neat store cereal...it also covered Seraut!
I just found your blog in a search to learn more about the changing city. I recently started living and working here so having a laid-back place to learn about where I spend all my time is really nice. Skyline is a great resource and I will be checking back again to see what else is happening!
Changing subjects, Inga will you be reviewing the new apartment building at Fortieth and Walnut ? Its really special ! Who's the architect ? I love it !
That building is at Chestnut.
