Description

Among Gaertner’s most admired canvases, Flying Ponies (Euclid Beach Park) presents a nocturnal view of a beloved carousel that was installed at a now defunct amusement park on the shores of Lake Erie. This ride—featuring suspended horses swirling over a dramatically tilted platform—provides the central focus. Its illumination helps bathe the surrounding darkness, revealing visitors engaged in various activities.
