Two new sculptures have been added to downtown Palm Springs’ ever-growing art scene.
“Resonance” and “Family Group,” two bronze sculptures that reach around 10-feet-tall, have been installed in front of the Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs Hotel, giving passersby more artwork to take in and photo opportunities to capture.

The two sculptures were made by internationally recognized artist J.D. Hansen and are part of a temporary public art exhibition presented in collaboration with Grit Development and HOHMANN Fine Art.
The installation features “Resonance,” a 10-foot-tall sculpture, and “Family Group,” standing at 8 feet tall on its base and reaching approximately 10 feet in overall height. “Resonance” features two tall figures looking at each other and holding hands, aptly, right next to the “PS I Love You” art piece. “Family Group” brings together five figures who all seemingly start from the same base and expand upward to form their own body, much like a family lineage of sorts.
Before arriving in Palm Springs, these two works were featured in a curated temporary exhibition at the Four Seasons Hotel Firenze in Florence.
Where are the new Palm Springs sculptures?
The two new sculptures are located by The Rowan at 100 W. Tahquitz Canyon Way.
How long will the sculptures be in Palm Springs?
The two new pieces will be on display for about a year, according to a press release.
