Leland I, sometimes stylized as Leland 1 or Leland #1, [1] is an outdoor 1975 sculpture by Lee Kelly and Bonnie Bronson, installed in Portland, Oregon, United States.
Leland I was designed by Lee Kelly and Bonnie Bronson, and marked one of the former's first large scale public artworks. [2] In addition, Ron Travers from the architectural firm Travers-Johnston served as architect and Robert Gardner from the McArthur/Gardner Partnership served as landscape architect. Pioneer Enamel was the contractor and David Cotter was an assistant. [3] The welded Cor-Ten steel and vitrified porcelain sculpture was completed during 1973–1975 and installed in the American Plaza Towers courtyard (called American Plaza), [2] at the intersection of Southwest 2nd Avenue and Lincoln Street, in 1975, having been commissioned and funded by the Portland Development Commission. [1] [3]
The abstract, geometric sculpture is constructed from three square and rectangular forms. [1] Overall, the installation measures approximately 30 feet (9.1 m) x 20 feet (6.1 m) x 15 feet (4.6 m) and weighs 15,565 pounds (7,060 kg). [3] Its pieces measure 115 inches (2.9 m) x 96 inches (2.4 m) x 56 inches (1.4 m) (east), 90 inches (2.3 m) x 67 inches (1.7 m) x 132 inches (3.4 m) (middle), and 20 feet (6.1 m) x 55 inches (1.4 m) x 56 inches (1.4 m) (west), respectively. [1] The installation features lighting also designed by the artists. Leland I was surveyed and considered "treatment needed" by the Smithsonian's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in January 1994. [3] In 2010, it was restored to address structural issues and saved from deaccession. [1] Funding for the conservation efforts was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Regional Arts & Culture Council, residents of the American Plaza Towers, and Kelly patrons. [2]
