Sculpture Stage is a 1976 weldedstainless steel sculpture by Bruce West, with assistance from poet Tom Cullerton, artist Jeff Tolbert and Hugh Mitchell, the landscape architect of Tom McCall Waterfront Park's Riverfront Plaza. It is located at the intersection of Southwest Ankeny and SouthwestNaito Parkway, just south of theBurnside Bridge. The piece was commissioned for $28,000 by the Portland Development Commission, with funds from theComprehensive Employment and Training Act. It is approximately 11 feet, 7 inches tall x 63 feet wide and was designed to cover theAnkeny pumping station and serve a backdrop for a stage. TheSmithsonian Institution categorizes the sculpture asabstract and describes it as a "curved relief in six sections with horizontal lines suggesting a landscape, and may be used as a backdrop for a stage".[1]
The work was surveyed and considered "well maintained" by Smithsonian's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in April 1993. At that time, it was administered by the City of Portland's Development Commission.[1] Presently, the work is part of the City of Portland and Multnomah County Public Art Collection courtesy of theRegional Arts & Culture Council.[2]
