The Wiford Gallery is hard to miss, thanks to its large garden filled with the kinetic wind sculptures of Utah artist Lyman Whitaker. Resembling giant windmills of varying heights and sprouting spoon-like extensions that pedal furiously in the wind, the copper and stainless steel installations serve as an appropriate introduction to one of Canyon Road’s best-known galleries. Wiford focuses on contemporary art, particularly large, interesting sculptures by artists including Christopher Ries, Dwight Bennet, Christopher White and David Nittmann (wood). A sign outside also announces that the gallery holds works by Pablo Picasso, James Rosenquist, Frank Stella and Andy Warhol that can be viewed on request.
