I love discovering interesting public art and this lady is certain to grab your attention. This new art instillation has arrived in Miami ahead of Miami Art Week and Art Basel. R-Revolution is a 32,000 pound, 45 foot tall stainless steel statue of a nude woman by artist Marco Cochrane. Marco was born in Venice, Italy and raised in California. He is known for his sculptures of women that symbolize female empowerment. R-Revolution is the third in a series Cochrane calls the Bliss Project. The other two art pieces are Bliss Dance which made its debut at Burning Man 2000 and Truth is Beauty which made its debut at Burning Man 2013.
R-Revolution was brought to Miami by the Lincoln Road Improvement District in partnership with the City of Miami. She was previously displayed at Burning Man in 2015. She has also been shown at Treasure Island, Petaluma, Las Vegas and now at the end of Lincoln Road on Miami Beach. She symbolizes feminine strength and liberation. Women line up to pose beneath her and have their picture taken. She is a major statement piece on iconic Lincoln Road. R-Revolution will be on display until April 2024. read more
