Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

An Unknown Sculpture


Image taken in 2004

The same sculpture in 2008

The subject of these photos is an art piece that I know nothing about. When I originally photographed it in ’04, it was located on Fayetteville Street Mall, before it was reopened to auto traffic. It is now located across from Raleigh Memorial Auditorium. There is no information accompanying it that states the title or who created it.

Do you know anything about this sculpture?

This sculpture is now located at the Millbrook Exchange Park off Spring Forest Rd. I believe it is called the Immigration gate and was designed by the same metal artist from Greensboro who designed the towers that are now in city plaza in DT Raleigh.
