Photo of the Day: Meet on the Street at Sam's

Livingston celebrates its bicentennial with sculptures all over town

Let's meet on the street! 

This sculpture, right in front of landmark Livingston business Sam's, depicts two men shaking hands.

As part of the township's bicentennial celebration, a display of sculptures by John Seward Johnson have been installed at various locations in the business district. Seward Johnson is best known for his life-size bronze statues, which actually are castings of living people of all ages depicting them engaged in day-to-day activities.

They include “Holier Than Thou” at Starbucks, “Contact” at Sams Clothing, “Weekend Painter” at Roosevelt Plaza, and “Holding Out” at Kings Supermarket. The 12 sculptures are on loan to the town through October.

"They are beautifully placed," Johnson said. "For example, one of them at the corner of Northfield and Livingston Avenues, is a guy who looks like he’s painting the pergola."
