The sculpture is one of many works of art generated by the city's Percent for Art program, and is considered part of the City of Portland and Multnomah County Public Art Collection courtesy of the Regional Arts & Culture Council. After ten years, in 1995, the sculpture was removed from its pedestal and transferred to California for its first major restoration. To maintain its shine, Allow Me receives cold wax coatings every year. It is a popular tourist attraction and local landmark which serves as a reference point for gatherings, or political rallies. Allow Me has received a positive reception and is renowned for its realistic appearance; the 'Umbrella Man' has been called the "most photographed man in Portland", and serves as a symbol of the city and its residents. (en) Allow Me, também conhecida como "Umbrella Man", é uma icônica escultura de bronze de 1983 produzida por John Seward Johnson II. Situa-se na Pioneer Courthouse Square em Portland, Óregon, Estados Unidos, sendo um dos sete modelos que retratam um homem de tamanho natural vestido com um terno de negócios, requisitando um táxi e segurando um guarda-chuva. Foi doada anonimamente à cidade de Portland para exibição pública em 1984. Construída em bronze, alumínio e aço inoxidável, a obra mede 2,05 metros de altura e pesa 210 quilogramas (460 libras). Ela é uma das muitas obras de arte geradas pelo programa Percent for Art e é considerada parte da coleção de arte pública da cidade de Portland e Multnomah, cortesia do Conselho Regional de Artes e Cultura. Em 1995, após dez anos, a escultura foi retirada do pedestal e transferida para a Califórnia para sua primeira grande restauração. Para manter seu brilho, Allow Me recebe revestimentos de cera fria a cada ano. Ela é uma atração turística popular e um marco local que serve de ponto de referência para encontros ou comícios políticos. A obra foi bem recebida e é conhecida pela sua aparência realista; o "Umbrella Man" foi chamado de o "homem mais fotografado em Portland" e serve de símbolo para a cidade e seus moradores. (pt) |
