Public Art + Monuments
ART CONSULTING + PROJECTS
Installing public art and monuments requires a sense of history, a sense of the space, and a sense of scale. A sense of drama can be good too.
National D Day Memorial
This memorial, visited by milions each year, began coming out of the ground in 1999. Steven Spielberg and Stephen Ambrose were both major donors. The art committee asked if we could provide a dozen monuments and we said, Sure. Jim Brothers did the sculpting. Spielberg loved the works so much he acquired a bronze maquette for his Los Angeles office.
National Soccer Hall of Fame
This structure, located in the Dallas area, was completed in 2018. Their execs approached us about creating something iconic for the front plaza. We all agreed that an interpretation of a Pele bicycle kick would be stunning, the question was how to make it unique. This finished piece by Jacob Burmood is the result. We borrowed from Art Deco design in devising the concept.
Eisenhower at the US Capitol Building
In 1999 Leopold landed Jim Brothers a commission to create a bronze monument of Dwight D. Eisenhower for the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. Working with the Capitol Architect, they decided to make the statue 1.25 life-size, or 9'H not counting the pedestal, in order for it to have sufficient presence. Bob Dol helped dedicate the bronze.
Public Murals
If you're going to create an outdoor mural it should be dynamic, full of life, full of color, and especially accurate in what it represents. Passion rules the day.
Various Installations
The City of Olathe contacted us in 2000, asking if we could devise a concept for honoring the late R.R. Osborne, a local banker and philanthropist. He was also one of the first men, in the 1950s, to hire women for executive positions. Thus the title totems compose a landscape of western Olathe, where Osbourne was from, and the stainless steel sculpture tells a store about the city itself. The artists Phil Epp, Arlie Regier and Dave Regier.
