What art have I seen? Helen and Newton Harrison’s California Wash
California Wash is the only piece of ‘public art’ created by Helen and Newton Harrison (1989-1996) – they changed many landscapes but this is the only place you can see their concerns inscribed in a specific place – Bottom of Pico Boulevard in Santa Monica where it meets the sea. It doesn’t address the actual outfall, but it makes the place legible.
