Public Art "Giant Binoculars"
4.5 (89)attraction
4.5 (89)Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen's colossal binoculars form a playful entrance to Frank Gehry's building.
Description
Officially known as the Chiat/Day Building artwork, the 1991 piece stands in Venice as a landmark of pop art and modern architecture. Rather than remaining an untouchable monument, it invites active transit: passersby can walk or drive directly underneath and through the binoculars.
