Flower Tree, Matt Wedel’s ceramic sculpture commissioned for the Hollywood Park Casino entrance of the new facility, is literally splashed with color. The permanent sculpture intentionally contrasts with the black and white pavers of the Casino entrance. This artwork is a major element of the Casino’s percent for the arts requirements set by the City.

Hollywood Park Casino LLC worked with a Los Angeles art consultant in identifying artists and artworks with connections to the region. Wedel’s experience in large sculpture and his ties to the region through graduate school and his gallery, directly led to the commission.  This sculpture, owned by Hollywood Park Casino, is part of the unique gaming art collection viewed on the website: http://www.playhpc.com/about
