Lovejoy Columns (original) (raw)
The Lovejoy Columns, located in Portland, Oregon, United States, supported the Lovejoy Ramp, a viaduct that from 1927 to 1999 carried the western approach to the Broadway Bridge over the freight tracks in what is now the Pearl District. The columns were painted by Greek immigrant Tom Stefopoulos between 1948 and 1952. In 1999, the viaduct was demolished but the columns were spared due to the efforts of the architectural group Rigga. For the next five years, attempts to restore the columns were unsuccessful and they remained in storage beneath the Fremont Bridge.

| dbo:abstract | Les colonnes Lovejoy, situées à Portland, ont soutenu le viaduc Lovejoy (Lovejoy Ramp en anglais) de 1927 à 1999. Les colonnes ont été peintes par l'immigrant grec Tom Stefopoulos entre 1948 et 1952. En 1999, le viaduc a été démoli mais les colonnes ont été mises de côté grâce au groupe architectural Rigga. Pendant les cinq années suivantes, les tentatives visant à restaurer les colonnes ont toutes échouées ; celles-ci sont alors restées dans un entrepôt situé sous le Pont Fremont. En 2005, deux des colonnes ont été réinstallées. Le Conseil régional des arts et la culture (Regional Arts & Culture Council) recherchait des photos des graffitis dans leur emplacement d'origine pour un projet de restauration. En 2006, Randy Shelton a reconstruit[pas clair] les œuvres en s'aidant de photographies.

In 2005, two of the original columns were resited at Northwest 10th Avenue between Everett and Flanders Streets. The Regional Arts & Culture Council was searching for photographs showing the murals in their original location for an ongoing restoration project. In 2006, Randy Shelton reconstructed the artworks on the columns using the photographs for reference. (en) |
