Urban Lightย (2008) is a large-scaleย assemblageย sculptureย byย Chris Burdenย located at the Wilshire Boulevard entrance to theย Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The 2008 installation consists of restored street lamps from the 1920s and 1930s. Most of them once lit the streets of Southern California.ย ย Urban Lightย is composed of 202 street lamps arranged in a near grid. The lamps mostly came from the streets of Southern California, including Hollywood, Glendale, and Anaheim, with some from Portland, Oregon. There are 16 different streetlight models represented, many of which were commissioned for particular neighborhoods and streets.ย The Broadway Rose, the largest and most ornate of the models, is represented by six lamps.
