Monument Preservation
Art, cultural groups to
restore landmarks
The Regional Arts and Culture Council has re
ceived a $5,000 grant from the Oregon Cultural Trust
to support general restoration of three key historic
monuments in Portland's public art collection, the
George Washington statute at Northeast Sandy Bou
levard and Alameda, the Sacajawea and Jean-Baptiste
monument at Washington Park, and the Portlandia
statute on the Portland Building, downtown.
The grant will help pay for primary conservation
treatments, including the removal of built-up oxidation
on their bronze surfaces; hot-wax treatment to control
future oxidation; and the cleaning of monument bases
and pedestals.
Portlandia, the second largest hammered copper
sculpture in the U.S. behind only the Statue of Liberty,
will receive a complete condition assessment along
with an inspection of its internal steel frame and
mounts to assess the accumulation of guano and
other grime due to bird infestation.
“Caring for these large scale works requires a
significant investm ent each year,” said Keith
Lachowicz, public art collections manager for the
Regional Arts and Cultural Council.
The total cost of the maintenance work is expected
to be $ 12,337, and the restorations will be completed
by April.
