The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art has created a sculpture garden across the street from its museum building, in a park called The Green at 435 S Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC, where it has placed several large mosaic sculptures. These are very well done pieces of artworks, identified as being created by artist Niki De Saint Phalle. This mosaic sculpture had no identification plaque to be found. However, looking at the work of Niki De Saint Phalle, other very similar large mosaic totums were titled Ricardo Cat. Since it is made by the same artist as the other mosaic sculptures in The Green's sculpture garden, it must be made of polyurethane foam, resin, steel armature, stained and mirrored glass, and tumbled stones. Ricardo Cat is located the close to S College Street, as is the other mosaic sculpture of the Golf Player.
