DESCRIPTION: 45-foot by 44-foot by 18-foot building-mounted, concrete and cement plaster sculpture, incorporated into the building façade over both vehicle and pedestrian entrances
Oldenburg's and van Bruggen's famous building-mounted sculpture is a distinct public artwork, officially titled 'Giant Binoculars.' Its strong visual impression makes it easy to conflate with the 2011 Frank Gehry-designed building, originally the Chiat/Day building. Thus the building itself is commonly known as the Binoculars Building.
