The new bust is made out of bronze, and we will be displaying the original maquette, um, and the new bronze on, beginning April 3rd at Oregon Contemporary and the Portland Art Museum for a satellite installation.
Darian JonesGUEST
And the bronze piece is quite something to behold.
Darian JonesGUEST
It really does command a presence of its own.
Matthew WorkmanNARRATOR
But first, we need to talk to Grace Kook-Anderson.
Matthew WorkmanNARRATOR
She's the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Northwest Art at the Portland Art Museum, and just the person who can tell me how a guerrilla art installation became a museum piece.
Grace Kook-AndersonGUEST
We are partnering with Oregon Contemporary and, uh, Portland Parks and Rec, and with the city, um, to bring, um, some attention to the York sculpture that was first, uh, shown in this, uh, mysterious and exciting way, uh, on Mount Tabor.
Grace Kook-AndersonGUEST
Was that in 2020? And then, um, the city commissioned the bronze piece later on, which was completed this fall.
