Here Comes The Sun

We've seen many a sun on "Sunday Morning" during the course of these past 30 years, with most of them sent in by our viewers. But when it came to our 30th anniversary, we decided to turn the tables and commission artist Red Grooms to create suns for us, like this Sunflower sun.

Who better to capture the sun in all its shades of yellow, gold, and red than Red Grooms, who has been an occasional guest on "Sunday Morning" from almost its earliest days? Here is his cool sun, with a sax.

Red Grooms, who created this female sun, is known for his "sculpto-pictoramas," three-dimensional mixed media constructions of painting and sculpture that invite interaction from the viewer.

Red Grooms, who has lived and worked in Manhattan for four decades, also provided "Sunday Morning" with a hot sun.

Red Grooms has no shortage of expressions for his suns. But he is best known for his Ruckus Manhattan, so big that it took over the entire waiting room at Grand Central Terminal. There also is the bookstore he created for The Hudson River Museum and the Ruckus Rodeo he staged in Fort Worth.

Now, this sun has an uncanny resemblance to the King of Rock 'N' Roll.

Grooms' works, like this sun, are exhibited in galleries around the world and are represented in the collections of more than three dozen museums.
