The fabulous hats have been restored and rededicated by Claes Oldenburg, himself on 11/​23/​2013. Don’t miss them! As for all the grumpy naysayers, look at your salad and think of us.

Since they just repainted & restored the Hats in Three Stages of Landing artwork I had to go see it since I was already in Salinas for the National Steinbeck Center, & John Steinbeck Public Library.
The artwork was made by Claes Oldenburg & his wife, his wife has since passed on, but he’s still alive & was at the celebration event Sat 11÷23÷13 which I missed. At least I went the next day Sun 11÷24÷13.
It’s outside, behind Sherwood Hall.
There’s 3 giants hats that looks like that were thrown — highest, little lower, lowest. I went too late in the day so it wasn’t as bright yellow as it should be. Good early in the day to see the art.

The City of Salinas should be ashamed for letting this wonderful piece of art sit neglected for so long. I played on the lowest hat when I was a child while attending day camp at the Rec Center at Sherwood Park and to see such a wonderful sculpture forgotten and a shadow of it’s former beauty is sad.

I have an ongoing love affair with public sculptures. When envisioned and executed properly, they can do so much to define a space. Salinas, CA has an important series of sculptures that can be found at Sherwood park in honor of their very well known and respected rodeo. The series of three hats were designed by Claes Oldenburg (maybe you have seen his clothespin in Philadelphia or his Typewriter Eraser in DC among other sculptures). The image is of a cowboy tossing off his hat, and the three levels represent snippets in time of its ultimate trajectory. The lowest level hat is actually accessible by children to climb upon making it an instant favorite in the park. The hats were originally sponsored through a NEA grant, but no money was identified for maintenance. So as you might imagine, the hats have lost their sheen, but their significance remains untouched. If you are in Salinas, check them out!
