Palm Springs, CA 92262

Isabelle is a public art installation located in Palm Springs, California, created by the renowned Quantum Physicist turned sculptor, Julian Voss-Andreae. The sculpture is a site-specific work designed to capture the essence of Palm Springs, reflecting the vibrant colors of the Coachella Valley during the day through polished stainless steel, and transforming into a dazzling spectacle at night with an integrated lighting system.

Unveiled in front of the Kimpton Hotel "The Rowan," Isabelle has quickly become a landmark in downtown Palm Springs, embodying the city's spirit of art and community. Approaching the sculpture, viewers experience a unique optical illusion where Isabelle seems to materialize only upon closer inspection, inviting them to explore its intricate design and symbolism.

With Isabelle, Voss-Andreae and developer Michael Braun of Grit Palm Springs aim to bring art to public spaces, fostering connections and creating memorable experiences for all who encounter this captivating sculpture. This collaboration marks the beginning of a new era of public art in Palm Springs, sparking a renaissance that celebrates creativity and cultural diversity in the heart of the city.
