Maquette for Olympic Gateway

1984

Bronze with dark brown patina and gilt cylinders

Edition of 25
Incised signature
16.5 x 12 x 12 inches
Provenance:
Gift of the artist

Graham's first major monumental commission was the ceremonial gateway for the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, for the occasion of the
1984 Olympics. He also designed the commemorative silver dollar for the event. The gateway featured two bronze torsos, male and female,
modeled on contestants in the games. The gateway was a major design element of an Olympiad noted for its lack of new construction. To the
surprise of many, the nudity of the torsos became an issue in the media.
