Again today I did nothing but work and sit around. So this is a photo I took on Friday when I went shopping to Downtown. I have to say that the amount of public art in Los Angeles is very impressive. You can hardly go a block without seeing a sculpture or a fountain. Apparently, all private commercial developments around the city must contribute a certain amount towards public art. I’m not sure if that’s counted in funds, square footage, or both, but you see many buildings that have a sculpture just outside their door.I don’t know whether this clock tower was funded by private development. It seems to be on the corner of a park (I didn’t investigate further because I knew I had quite a long way to walk, and it was very hot) which would suggest it’s public. All the more impressive if the state still funds public art even though private companies have to.
