The Howard Whalen Sculpture Garden in Sierra Madre, CA is a one-of-a-kind non-profit organization that stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of artist Howard Whalen. With the largest collection of his works, including terra cotta and ceramic sculptures, the garden serves as a permanent living memorial exhibition, preserving Whalen's artistic vision and celebrating his contributions to the art world.
Whalen, a sculptor, actor, philosopher, and jazz enthusiast, left an indelible mark on the art scene with his deeply expressive and thought-provoking creations. Influenced by renowned artists such as Henry Moore, Picasso, and Klee, Whalen's sculptures embody the human experience and evoke a timeless sense of beauty. The garden, which also houses Whalen's studio, was established by a dedicated group of volunteers to ensure his work continues to inspire and captivate visitors in a setting of natural beauty.
