Stroll Through the Art Roaming Philadelphia's outdoor museum PHOTOS (CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT): ASSOCIATION OF PUBLIC ART, ALBERT YEE, AMBER KIRYLAK T he Association for Public Art (aPA) has a secret to share: Some of Philadelphia's most notable artworks are not hanging in its galleries. The city itself is a museum. From Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture to Auguste Rodin's The Thinker, Philadelphia boasts one of the largest public art collections in the nation. "You can walk the length of the Parkway and experience some of the most impressive examples of public art in America," says Executive Director Penny Balkin Bach. The Benjamin Franklin Parkway is home to the city's top museums and outdoor sculptures, including Alexander Stirling Calder's Shakespeare Memorial and Mark di Suvero's Iroquois. The aPA brings two new artworks this summer: Symbiosis, a sculpture by artist Roxy Paine, is hand-constructed from pieces of stainless steel pipe, plate, and metal rods welded into structures resembling trees and branching systems; and artist Candy Coated will transform Eakins Oval into a whimsical environment of color and illusion, with programming presented by Philadelphia Parks and Recreation and Fairmount Park Conservancy. While on the Parkway, listen to the aPA's Museum Without Walls™: AUDIO, an interpretive program that reveals the fascinating stories of more than 65 sculptures throughout the city. Artist Claes Oldenburg recalls the pins that littered his studio, which inspired his 45-foot-tall Clothespin sculpture, while other commenters compare the artwork to two people embracing. Museum Without Walls™: AUDIO is available by cell phone, app, audio download, and online at museumwithoutwallsaudio.org. BY A.
