Northwest Public Art Installed

The beautiful, whimsical pieces by California artist Solomon Bassoff of Faducci Studio were installed. The drive up book drop area has a wonderful piece of “America’s first cowgirl” from Oklahoma, Lucille Mulhall and her dog Wally. The other sculptured figures are of three official state representatives, a raccoon, our official State Furbearing Animal; a collared lizard, the State Reptile, and a saurophaganax dinosaur, the State Fossil. The raccoon will be living on one of the columns on the children’s patio; the lizard greets visitors as they walk in the front door and the dinosaur resides on the north side of the library building fronting 122nd street. They are unique additions to the library’s public art collections. Click to view photos from the art installation (you must be logged into MyMetrolibrary to view the full set of photos)
