Photo Diary: Public Art
When’s the last time you walked down the street and saw a traffic sign made into a piece of jewelry or a train station seat decorated with iron ivy? Public art is certainly not new to society, but it continues to catch our eye and has made it to this week’s photo diary. Art lovers may travel to famous galleries and museums to experience an artist’s fusion of color, texture, paint, metals, and creativity, but in Amsterdam, Portland and Tokyo, you don’t have to travel far (or inside) to see art sprinkled throughout the city. Here is a sampling of the more familiar public art displays you will find in each city.
