Читать книгу A Sense of Place - Robin Laurence - Страница 16

In early 1996, a team of workers, using a large construction crane, manoeuvred a six-ton sculpture into place at Vancouver International Airport (YVR). Conceived and designed by Haida artist Bill Reid, it had been modelled in clay and moulded in plaster in Reid’s studio in Vancouver, cast in bronze in the Tallix Foundry in Beacon, New York, and displayed for an interim period in a pavilion on Vancouver’s Granville Island. On that momentous day, as it came to rest at YVR, and with the later bless-ing of the Musqueam First Nation, on whose traditional territory the airport is located, the sculpture found its permanent home.
