Helping Hands
Warm evening light bathes a sculpture of giant hands on the 14th Century walls of the Ca’Sagredo Hotel on the Grand Canal, Venice.
The art installation, called 'Support' and created by artist Lorenzo Quinn, the son of actor Antony Quinn, was a pair of 5,000-pound white hands, complete with creases and fingernails. The hands appeared to prop up the historic hotel from falling into the water.
We were lucky to see it as the hands were erected in 2017 and removed in early 2018.
