In Naples, the Gators Galore 2002 project added to a plentiful supply of public art. At least four of the whimsical sculptures are still on view, on Fifth Avenue South, at Tin City, at the Eighth Street fire station and in front of the von Liebig Art Center. Fifth Avenue South is also home to sculptures, including Kathy Spalding's bronze Anhingas and William Turner's Wood Storks at Corkscrew.
In front of City Hall stands Wayne Hook's Homage to the Sun, one of the most distinctive and recognizable of Naples' public works. The Villages on Venetian Bay are peppered with stone sculptures by developer/artist Raymond Lutgert. Lutgert's work shows up again outside the Northern Trust on U.S. 41. A few blocks south at Atlantic States Bank, statues of Ponce de Leon and Osceola stand guard. The works are by London sculptor Michael Rizzello. -Janina Birtolo
