He then built a maquette of the work. Fabricated out of carbon plate steel, "4 Arches" was installed during the construction of the surrounding plaza. The sculpture was aligned by Peter Walker, the landscape architect, and painted "Calder" red, which is actually an orange-red. Creating a striking contrast against the muted colors Albert C. Martin and Associates incorporated into their design of the adjacent 52-story office tower, the sculpture has a high profile on Bunker Hill, serving as a distinctive landmark, and as a frame for the surrounding buildings. event_242 FIGat7th FARMERS MARKET http://www.artsbrookfield.com/Los_Angeles/FIGat7th/event_240.htm <img src="http://www.artsbrookfield.com/resources/4024/GREEN.jpg" /> FIGat7th FARMERS MARKET Every Thursday 11am - 3pm FIGat7th on the Plaza 735 South Figueroa Street The farmer's market at FIGat7th offers an assortment of produce, kettle corn, flowers, honey, breads, bonsai trees, tamales, olives and more, every Thursday. event_240 JAM!

Since the early 1960s, Mary Corse has created abstract, monochromatic paintings. The tiny, perfect spheres of glass refract light and make for a luminous surface that is not attainable using pigment alone. event_204 PUBLIC ART http://www.artsbrookfield.com/Los_Angeles/Figueroa_Wilshire/event_327.htm <img src="http://www.artsbrookfield.com/resources/4894/PrimeMatter.jpeg" /> PUBLIC ART ERIC ORR PRIME MATTER Figueroa at Wilshire, 601 South Figueroa Street "L.A. Prime Matter" consists of two 32' high triangular bronze towers at the northwest corner of Wilshire and Figueroa. Specially designed ridges in the sides of the towers form patterns in the water that slowly flows down from the top. In contrast to other works in the "Prime Matter" series, in which the flame begins at the bottom and moves up, the fire in "L.A. Prime Matter" spilled down from the top. Though this work was conceived as juxtaposing light, fire and water, only water remains because two components no longer function. event_327 PUBLIC ART http://www.artsbrookfield.com/Los_Angeles/ernst_young_plaza/event_201.htm <img src="http://www.artsbrookfield.com/resources/3455/Ruth Pastine_460x187.JPG" /> PUBLIC ART Ruth Pastine Limitless (2009) The complexity of visually linking the two adjoining monumental lobbies of Ernst & Young Plaza, inspired the dialoguing diptych configuration for each of the four immense walls. There is a rigorous tension at play between the four canvases in each lobby, which are connected and spaced as diptych pairs on adjacent walls, acknowledging the architectural symmetry with balance and rhythmic flow. event_201 POET'S WALK http://www.artsbrookfield.com/Los_Angeles/ernst_young_plaza/event_326.htm <img src="http://www.artsbrookfield.com/resources/4870/headless.jpg" /> POET'S WALK Poet's Walk is a collection of poetry and art objects in a small park above the Seventh Market Place, and around Citicorp Plaza. event_326
