Love Jack, baby...


(with apologies to the B-52’s)

This piece of public art can be seen near the Menil Collection near its parking area. As far as an artist or name? You’ll have to accept my apologies as I have been foiled in my attempts to find any information about it.

  3. Ha--did you really just choose your title because it rhymed with the song lyric, or did you know it's dubbed the "Love Jack" because of the artist?

    The sculpture was created in 1971 by Jim Love: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Love_(artist)

    I always enjoy seeing the new entries on your site and have recently had some time to go back to its beginning, so thought I'd pass on this info.
