Cliff Garten Studio Unveils Avenue of Light, Fort Worth TX
Cliff Garten Studio in Venice CA has recently unveiled The Avenue of Light in Fort Worth, TX.
The Avenue of Light, anchors the Lancaster Avenue Corridor Redevelopment Project and is nearly half a mile long. Lancaster Avenue was severed from Fort Worth’s downtown in the 1950s with the construction of the elevated I-30 freeway, but in recent years the freeway was relocated and the area has begun to be redeveloped into a pedestrian friendly community with a renewed appreciation for the history of the site. CGS won a national invitational competition administered by Fort Worth Public Art to secure the commission. The challenge of the project was to use the median design and sculptures as the entry and civic spine of the new Lancaster District. It treats the median's landscape and sculptures as one integrated work of art.
The project was also recently featured under the "Avant Garde" section on Kanye West's blog.
