Description

No Shoes was commissioned for the International Sculpture Symposium in Toronto in 1967. In 1967, di Suvero was a rising star in the international art scene. He was part of a group of artists invited to participate in the Toronto International Sculpture Symposium - an event held to celebrate Canada's centennial. He created two sculptures in High Park: No Shoes, situated by the woods at the bottom of a hill and the towering Flower Power, which rested at the top of the same hill. After a lengthy restoration overseen by di Suvero himself, No Shoes was installed in Corktown Common in June 2013.

Commissioned by: Waterfront Toronto
