Description:
Eight cast bronze sculptures are placed on eight pedestals in a walking park along the length of Spring Street between 1st and 2nd Streets between the Los Angeles Police Department's new Police Administration Building and the LA Times Building in downtown Los Angeles, California. Six corpulent "beasts" form a ponderous elephantine procession along the street that anchor two lanky “monkeys” at either end. The later might be seen almost as sentinels for the “beastly” procession between them looking, turning and moving out of the walkway into the city beyond.
