Memory 99, a 4,000-poundCorten steel sculpture designed by Lee Kelly, is installed at theNorth Park Blocks at the front steps of the511 Federal Building (511 Northwest Broadway), which houses thePacific Northwest College of Art's (PNCA) Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design. It is 11 feet (3.4 m) tall and 23 feet (7.0 m) wide. The sculpture was dedicated by PNCA on October 19, 2012.[1]
The dedication of this sculpture marked the first move in a plan to turn the block in front of the PNCA into an additionalgreen space, making it a continuation of theNorth Park Blocks.[2]
Portland Monthly called the sculpture's design "sweetly curved yet architecturally stark", and said it serves as a "marvelous example of the work that has made [Kelly] one of the most in demand artists in the region.[1]
