About This Piece
Carlos Fresquez’s "Un Corrido Para La Gente" is an assemblage of sculptural forms inspired by items you might find in the surrounding neighborhood shops, or mercado district. An oversized guitar, hand-painted with a representation of an eagle, is topped by a wheel and a crown. These sculptural forms connect to a sculpture of a shovel through a colorful, kinetic papel picado swinging in the breeze. The artwork creates a playful and vibrant gateway to the Morrison Road and Sheridan Boulevard streetscape.
