Bronze birds on long poles at Race Street Pier are the start of something big

Philadelphia Contemporary's "Water Marks" series will tap a roster of esteemed artists to make public art along the Delaware River.

Cast-bronze birds sit atop 13-feet-tall poles in British artist Tracey Emin's piece, "A Moment Without You," at the Race Street Pier. This is the first installation in "Water Marks," a multi-year program of rotating installations at a variety of sites along the Delaware River waterfront.
