SPOTLIGHT ON PUBLIC ART
KEVIN ROBB | DESERT BLOOM
MIDTOWN | SHARTEL AND NW 10TH STREET


This month’s Spotlight on Public Art features Desert Bloom by Colorado metal sculptor Kevin Robb. It's a sculpture constructed from 10-gauge stainless steel. The piece is 91 inches tall on a 32-inch stainless steel base, for a total height of just over 10 feet. Robb welds pieces of stainless steel into elegant shapes creating a work of art that brings beauty and energy to the outdoor space.

The beautiful work of art originally set on the West Lawn of City Hall until March of 2011, when it was relocated to Midtown. St. Anthony Hospital and Midtown Renaissance cooperatively worked with Oklahoma City Arts Commission to bring the fabulous work of art to the roundabout at Shartel and NW 10th Street.
