Tolerance sculptures

Found on the corner of Allen Parkway and Montrose, “Tolerance” is a magnificent group of sculptures iniated as an installation by Mica Mosbacher and created by Jaume Plensa, an internationally renowned contemporary Spanish artist and sculptor. In “Tolerance,” Plensa imagined harmony and unity in seven aluminum-framed human figures representing the seven continents. Made in the artist’s signature alphabet pattern, each large majestic sculpture represents a mix of languages, including Latin, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Greek, Hindi and Cyrillic. At night, the figures create a constellation of beacons as they glow from within. Inspired by the artist’s belief that despite all of our many differences that make us unique, everyone is trying to achieve similar goals like love, health, prosperity and our children’s success.
