More than 100 enthusiastic supporters including Ward 28 Councillor Pam McConnell (pictured in green) turned up at the Toronto Sculpture Garden yesterday evening to celebrate the park’s 30th anniversary. Sculpture Garden patron Marc Odette, above, recalled the history of this pioneering public-private partnership, which was started in 1981 by his father, the late Louis L. Odette. Since then, what was once a parking lot, has hosted 64 large-scale works of contemporary sculpture including the newly installed Gold, Silver & Lead by artist Jed Lind, below.

I visited the garden Wednesday night and I must say the cars are brilliant. The attention to detail and the superior craftsmanship that was put into making this huge sculpture is radiantly evident. Hats off to whoever put those cars together, it must have been challenging for the best of fabricators. Does anyone know who it is?
Cheers!
