The second oldest sculpture on this list after William Penn, the Smith Memorial Arch actually consists of 13 sculptures and busts. It was written in prominent Philadelphian Richard Smith’s will to donate $500,000 to build a monument to Pennsylvania’s naval and military heroes of the Civil War. Designed by architect John T. Windrim, it took 15 years to build from start to finish and now serves as the gateway to West Fairmount Park. No doubt more attention will be brought to the memorial when Parkside Neighborhood Edge finishes construction in fall 2017.

“Covenant” is public art piece commissioned for the Redevelopment Authority’s percent-for-art requirement. Designed by Alexander Liberman, it was installed in 1975 along Locust Walk on the University of Pennsylvania’s campus. The painted steel sculptures weighs more than 25 tons and is 45-feet tall.

This 8-foot, 6-inch-tall sculpture of Sylvester Stallone’s famous Rocky character currently sits at the base of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. But in its 35-year history, it has had many homes. Designed by A. Thomas Schomberg and given to the city of Philadelphia by Stallone in 1982, it first stood atop the museum’s “Rocky steps.” But critics argued that the “movie prop” wasn’t suited for the cultural institution, and it moved down to South Philly at the old Spectrum stadium. Ultimately, it found a permanent location at the foot of the art museum in 2006 and draws thousands of visitors each year.

No doubt one of the most iconic fountains in the city, the Swann Memorial Fountain dates back to 1924 and is the heart of Logan Square. Designed by Alexander Stirling Calder, there are three bronze sculptures of Native Americans in recline that spout water, representing the city’s three main waterways: The Delaware River, Schuylkill River, and the Wissahickon Creek. The memorial is dedicated to Dr. Wilson Cary Swann, founder and president of the Philadelphia Fountain Society.

Amor is a Robert Indiana Sculpture that has been sitting pretty in its new permanent home at Sister Cities Park since December 2016. Previously, it stood atop the Rocky steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, while it was on loan from the Morgan Art Foundation an on display during the Pope’s visit. The 6-foot-tall sculpture is now owned by the city.

This critically acclaimed sculpture by Claes Oldenburg was installed in 1976 in Center City as part of the city’s 1 percent art program. As the Philadelphia Association for Public Art puts it, “Clothespin certainly draws a reaction from everyone who passes it.” It’s made of Cor-Ten steel, which turns a reddish-brown as it weathers.

The 37-foot-tall William Penn bronz statue sits on top of City Hall and has the title of being the tallest statue atop any building in the world. Designed by Alexander Milne Calder, it was installed in 1894 and took almost two years to finish. It’s about to undergo a much-needed restoration beginning May 1, which will take about six weeks.

This 51-foot-tall paintbrush juts out over North Broad Street from Lenfest Plaza next to the Frank Furness-designed Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. It was designed by Claes Oldenburg (see also #7) and installed in August 2011 as a way to honor the act of painting. At night, the brush and the glob of paint on the plaza are illuminated.
