Sculpture Court / Topless
San Diego fine Arts Gallery, West Wing (1966) by Mosher & Drew Now the San Diego Museum of Art
Notice anything different? Yes, the Claire Falkenstein is back, but look higher...
The canopy roof is gone and the sun is shining on the Malcolm Leland bronze fascia.
This is the what it usually looks like. That top hides what the real architecture is supposed to look like. Apparently, the wind damaged the canvas and it was removed. Yes, you can have your wedding party amongst Louise Nevelson and Claire Falkenstein. Source: Concept Events
Or if you're into something with a little less commitment, you could just have lunch there.
Let's hope they keep the top off. It's how it was designed to be and it looks so good. The gates were designed by Malcolm Leland. Source: Julius Shulman, 1968
The wildlife also seems to like it better this way. More about the sculpture court and garden can be found here and here.
The Timken Museum (1965) by Frank L. Hope and Associates (again). More here.

Balboa Park / Modern
I went to check on the missingClaire Falkenstein sculpture at The San Diego Museum of Art sculpture garden. It looks like Accelerated Point is almost back in place, and it's not bolted down. Believe me, I thought about it.
More here.
Night Presence II, 1976 by Louise Nevelsonis just in front of Accelerated Point.
The Timken Museum (1965) by Frank L. Hope and Associates is just across the plaza. John Mock led the design for the firm.
It's the one of only a couple pieces of non-Spanish Colonial Revival arc

Library / Art
After 30 years of waiting, the new San Diego Central Library is finally open. Even though I can see the R2-D2 dome from my window, I haven't been inside since it opened a few weeks ago. Luckily, architectural photographer Darren Bradley and local art authority Dave Hampton have made it inside.
Darren took a great set of photos that can be seen on his blog, Modernist Architecture. Photo: Darren Bradley
Dave has written a piece for KPBS's Culture Lust about the art on display: Which Artist Has The Most Work On View In New San Diego Library?
