Each year since 2004, the Port of San Diego has been displaying the works of different artists on the San Diego waterfront. Most of the works are on the walkway alongside the San Diego Bay and cruise ship terminal.
This piece, by Glenn Vogel is entitled "23rd Century Palm"
The Port's website (
visit link) describes the work thusly:
"This kinetic aluminum sculpture of a palm tree epitomizes the artist's love for palm trees in San Diego and his techno approach to sculpture. Each highly polished palm frond turns independently with the wind. The 11-foot tall artwork also features aluminum patinaed coconuts."
The works are for sale after their year on exhibit and the asking price for this piece is $18,500.
