EN :i osuRES
At the July 18, 1983 City Commission meeting, Galleria Novita donated
a bronze sculpture by Spanish artist Perecoll. The City Commission
requested that the Arts in Public Places Committee identify a location
for the sculpture.
Please be advised that I have met with the members of the Arts in Public
Places Committee and it is the recommendation of the majority that the
sculpture be placed along the Riverwalk behind the Convention Center.
The specific location on the Riverwalk will be determined once the
question of access by a crane is resolved. The other sites that were
considered were Wainwright Park and Kenneth Myers Park.
I have discussed the Riverwalk location with representatives of Galleria
Novita and they approve placement in this area. The Convention Center
architects and the Parks Department were also consulted and they support
placement on the Riverwalk.
Galleria Novita has requested that the installation take place in October
during Hispanic Heritage Month. The artist will be visiting Miami from
Spain.
Galleria Novita has advised me that they will provide the sculpture and
a crane with a crane operator to install the piece, however, the City
will have to pay the cost of constructing the base. The Department of
Building and vehicle Maintenance has estimated that it will cost them
approximately $3000 to install and construct the base. I am awaiting
the final drawings of the base for the sculpture.
Please advise me if you approve the proposed site as well as the expen-
diture of funds for this purpose.
If this meets with your approval, arrangements will be made to have the
sculpture installed in early October.
