"3 hearts on a rock", sculpture by artist Jim Dine.
This eye-catching piece is in the Max & Iris Stern Sculpture Garden, ... an outdoor garden that is ! With this project being funded by the Stern estate, the museum has been mandated to make art more accessible to everyone and to promote collaboration between the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, Concordia University and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
Location of this artwork:
Sherbrooke Street/ Ave. du Musee
This sculpture isn't new is it ? I think I vaguely recall seeing it before - wasn't it red once upon a time ? I like it.

You're right. The other sculpture is very similar and is titled: Twin 6’ Hearts also by Jim Dine (1999). The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts moves this red colored piece around so you may have seen it before, even in this exact same spot where the "3 hearts on a rock" currently sits.
ReplyDeleteThese hearts are a pleasure for the eyes. Just a few feet away, you will also discover a hidden Montreal gem: the tiny garden beside the Church of St Andrew and St Paul. I'd love to see a photo of that! Maybe in a a few weeks, when the fountain is flowing and the foliage and flowered trees are creating their dappled shade?
ReplyDeletehmmm....
ReplyDeleteThose hearts look to be as hard and cold as that of «Louis'» first wife, a.k.a. "World War I"...

ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely spot in the summer. I've seen office workers enjoying themselves there during their lunch break. I'll try. :)
