St. Louis and Public Art

.
In the middle of the complex junction of two main highways, the city erected this steel sculpture. It's bright red and perhaps 10 meters tall. Cars whizzing by get only a glance. You can walk to it but few people would have any reason to be walking in the area. I can't find anything online that identifies it. The site contained this work until a few months ago, which was even harder to see. As some highway construction signs say, your tax dollars at work.

For the locals, this is in the I 44 - I 55 interchange, south of Lafayette Avenue.

WHAT FELL INTO MY POCKET TODAY: an iPhone. Woo hoo, new toy.

TOMORROW: a grand old building across the street (imitation Andreas Gursky shot).
