Putting the cherry back on the spoon

This morning and early afternoon, the cherry was placed back atop the spoon, once again completing Claes Oldenburg’s Spoonbridge and Cherry. It was a beautiful spring day, and made for great weather to watch the process.

Unwrapping

We put together some photos of the process on our flickr account. It seemed there were as many cameras as people in the garden, so if you have photos or short videos on flickr, please add them to our Minneapolis Sculpture Garden flickr group. Here’s a video of the wrapping coming off by waiting line:

We also live-tweeted the process, and there are some photos in our twitpic stream.
