Untitled is an outdoor 1977 painted aluminum sculpture by Ivan Morrison, located at Southwest 5th Avenue and Southwest Oak Street in the Transit Mall of Portland, Oregon.
Description
[edit | edit source]
The sculpture, funded by TriMet and the United States Department of Transportation, measures 7 feet (2.1 m) x 8 feet (2.4 m), 6 inches (15 cm) x 2 feet (0.61 m), 4 inches (10 cm), and appears to blend mediums, "rendering two-dimensional fields of color in a three-dimensional form".[1] Parts are painted blue, red, yellow and white and contains no inscriptions.[2] The Smithsonian Institution categorizes the sculpture as abstract (geometric). Untitled was surveyed and considered "treatment urgent" by Smithsonian's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1993.[2]
The work is part of the collection of the Regional Arts & Culture Council.[1][3] It has been included in at least one published walking tour of Portland. The tour's author said the sculpture's panels "form a child-size hiding place".[4]
