Today’s Mystery Photo is very local. What we want you to do is identify what’s happening in this photo, and for extra bonus for yourself, tell us who is in the photograph. The photograph comes from a stash of images we ran across recently.
The last Mystery Photo caused a ruckus, since again we ran a photo of an artwork that can be found in multiple locations. Several people named the art piece, but told of places other than the location that was depicted. The past Mystery Photo came from Paige Havens of Hoschton,
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. wrote: “Today’s mystery photo is of a painted steel sculpture called Horizontal, located on Square Verdrel in front of the Museum of Fine Arts in Rouen, France. It was created by Alexander Calder (1898-1976), an American sculptor and painter best known for his innovative kinetic sculptures that were naturally powered by the wind or by electric motors. Calder made his first wind mobile in 1932 and created almost 2,000 such sculptures over his lifetime. Horizontal is 26’H x 23’D x 19’W and is made of steel rods, bolts, and sheet metal. It was created in 1974 and is one of Calder’s last mobile sculptures before he died.”
Also recognizing it in the right location were George Graf, Palmyra, Va. and Scott Ogilvie of Rehobeth, Ala.
