Connector

Posted on June 24, 2011 by admin

Location: #1 Located between the Orange County Performing Arts Center and the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall.

Artist name: Richard Serra

The Connector consists of five twisted, sinuous steel plates that stand together, forming a hollow structure that visitors can walk into and through. The steel plates are fused at the top, leaving a pentagonal opening to the sky. Up close, the surface of the steel is painted beautifully by natural oxidation and weather, leaving a complex pattern. At 64 feet tall and 360 tons, the structure is an impressive focal point.
