Daily News | Bolt by bolt, ‘Iroquois’ sculpture on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway is picked apart for a monthslong restoration
PublishedRestoring a 17.5-ton public sculpture is not as straightforward as sending a crew of workers to slap on a fresh coat of paint. Restoration crews run the risk of clashing with the elements or worse, skipping some nooks and crannies.
The Association for Public Art, which preserves and promotes the city’s public art pieces, noticed the sculpture’s signature hue was fading in recent years and began restoration plans. “Iroquois” is not new to travel. It made temporary stops in Texas and Michigan before finding a permanent home in Philly and becoming an Eakins Oval landmark, one of seven sculptures by Mark di Suvero named after Native American tribes.
