3rd Street and Washington-Jefferson

Cliff Garten / Los Angeles, CA

The many cultural events of downtown are heralded at the 3rd Street and Jefferson and 3rd Street and Washington stations by the sleek, modern artwork of Los Angeles artist Cliff Garten. These Station Beacons are an elegant addition to the new Phoenix Civic Center and continuous development in the city’s core.

During the day, the repetitive linear forms of the Brancusi inspired sculptures harness the power of the shining sun and reflect the bustle and movement of the city center. When the sun sets, the internal changing colored lights reflect the city’s nighttime neon character.
