Sculpture Garden, National Gallery of Art

 

Recently I spent an overnight in Washington DC and had a little time to wander the city.  At the National Gallery of Art, I enjoyed a stroll through their sculpture garden but unfortunately had no time to enter the main gallery. 

I was attracted into the garden from across the street when I saw the “Typewriter Eraser” sculpture.  I vividly recalled using this device in high school and college when creating typewritten assignments....
