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?
Spot Up Your Community
I absolutely love this painting. It’s on the side of a barbershop on the corner of Wilmington and Davie Streets. I know it has been repainted at least once in the past 4 years, as it was faded the first time I saw it. As noted in the bottom right corner, it was painted/updated by James Stacy Utley in 1994, but it older than that. It’s interesting to note that the skyline’s two tallest buildings are Progress I and the BB&T building.
