The Red Popsicle[1] (also known as Giant Red Twin Popsicle[2][3] or simply Popsicle)[4] is a 2011 sculpture by Catherine Mayer, installed in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood, in the U.S. state of Washington.[5]
The 17-foot steel and epoxy artwork was installed at the intersection of Fourth and Blanchard outside the building of the same name in early June 2011.[6][7]
Christina Ausley of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer described the sculpture as "public pop art that looks good enough to eat, but sadly is not".[2] The newspaper also included the artwork in a 2021 list of "24 of Seattle's quirkiest landmarks".[8] Bradley Foster included the sculpture in Thrillist's 2014 list of "10 secret Seattle things you didn't know existed".[9] Sean Keeley and Sarah Anne Lloyd included the work in Curbed Seattle's 2019 list of "30 notable public art spots in Seattle".[10]
