LACMA - Chris Burden "Urban Light"

Urban Light (2008) is a large-scale assemblage sculpture by Chris Burden located at the Wilshire Boulevard entrance to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The 2008 installation consists of restored street lamps from the 1920s and 1930s. Urban Light is composed of 202 street lamps arranged in a neat grid. The lamps mostly came from the streets of Southern California, including Hollywood, Glendale, and Anaheim, with some from Portland, Oregon. Since its 2008 installation, Urban Light has become an extremely popular attraction, and it has become the most visited, photographed and well-known public artwork in Southern California.
