Sculpture: No Shoes by Mark DiSuvero

An interesting sculpture combining metal beams with wooden ones, but I am not sure where the No Shoes" comes from."

Yup... it's a sculpture... and it does not have shoes. Marc DiSuvero is a weird human for creating this.

Easy landmark to use when rendezvousing with people at Corktown Commons

Mark di Suvero is internationally considered to be one of the most significant sculptors of the 20th century. In 1967, while in the early stages of his career, di Suvero was invited by the City of Toronto to participate in an International Sculpture Symposium in High Park. Di Suvero was given access to a crane and operator and the results were two monumental pieces, Flower Power and No Shoes, which were the first works in what became the artist’s signature style.After a lengthy restoration and re-installation coordinated with the City of Toronto, who continue to own the work, and overseen by di Suvero himself, No Shoes was installed in Corktown Common in June 2013.
