FRESH COAT

Gavin Andrus repaints the public art sculpture entitled, 'Singing Chairs' (1987 by artist Doug Hollis) at Santa Monica beach on Wednesday, May 25, 2011. The elegant 18-foot-tall chair features five slotted aluminum pipes on the back of each chair extend skyward to catch the wind and produce musical tones. The chairs will be repainted in pastel hues and are positioned obliquely in respect to the shoreline. Visitors can climb up six rungs to sit in lifeguard fashion, while viewing the environment. According to Hollis, the musical tones can be heard as far away as 500 feet on a windy day and 100 feet on an average day.
