ART

In addition to its many dining and entertainment options, The Plaza Coral Gables will be the home to some of the finest public art in the world. Among the main art on display is Jean-Michel Othoniel’s “Coral Fountains,” a stunning organic fountain sculpture made of gilded or mirrored beads that represents Coral Gables’ reputation as the pearl of South Florida; Tony Cragg’s “Mean Average,” a deep brown, tall, abstract sculpture that merges materials and unconventional shapes to draw the viewer in and allow them to perceive their surroundings differently; and Michele Oka Doner’s “Monumental Ritual Bench,” an earthy bench and radial ring that intertwines with nature to symbolize gathering and community.
