There's a particular hush over the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden when the sun drops, and the skyline begins to glow. On this evening, the Spoonbridge and Cherry weren't alone; a flock of geese had claimed the little island at the base of the spoon, settling in for the night as the city lights came up behind them.
This vertical frame draws your eye up the spoon's gleaming sweep to the cherry, suspended against a sky still washed in dusk-blue, with downtown Minneapolis glowing just beyond. It's the same beloved sculpture Minnesotans have known for decades, seen from an angle that feels quieter and more intimate, one evening when the city, the art, and a few dozen unbothered locals all shared the same patch of twilight.
Tall and dramatic, it's a portrait of Minneapolis at its most magical hour: the cherry as the hero, the skyline as the stage, and the geese as a reminder that even the most iconic places belong, for a moment, to whoever shows up.
Looks best on metal. The brushed aluminum surface makes the glowing city windows and the twilight sky luminesce, and gives the cherry's deep red a richness that flat paper can't reach. For the most striking version of this image, metal is the way to go.
Available in all four formats:
Because this is a vertical composition, it's made for the spaces a wide print can't fill, a narrow wall, the gap between two windows, or a tall run in an entryway or stairwell.
FAQ
Where was this taken? At the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, home to the Spoonbridge and Cherry, one of the most photographed landmarks in the Twin Cities, with the downtown Minneapolis skyline rising behind it.
Is this the same image as your horizontal Cherry Spoon print? It's a companion, not a duplicate. This is a vertical composition of the same iconic sculpture, with the geese gathered at the base and the cherry standing tall as the centerpiece.
