Howard's Way is an outdoor 2007 art installation comprising four stainless steel sculptures by American artist Lee Kelly, located in downtown Portland, Oregon.
Description and history
[edit]
The work was commissioned by the Housing Authority of Portland for the downtown development project called "The Civic/The Morrison", and funded by the City of Portland's Percent for Art program and Civic Housing Development Services.[2] The "suite" of sculptures were installed at the Civic Apartments (635 Southwest 19th Avenue)[1] at West Burnside Street and Northwest 19th Avenue. Howard's Way shares its name with the plaza between two buildings in which it was installed; both are named for Howard Shapiro, the Housing Authority's former chair. The work's four pieces are 11 feet (3.4 m) tall and 1,300 lbs., 9 feet (2.7 m), 6 inches (15 cm) tall and 1,250 lbs., 2 feet (0.61 m) tall and 640 lbs., and 12 feet (3.7 m) tall and 1,050 lbs., respectively. It was dedicated in October 2007.[2]
