Portlandia
Portlandia is a sculpture by Raymond Kaskey located above the entrance of Michael Graves' Portland Building in downtown Portland, Oregon, at 1120 SW 5th Avenue. It is the second-largest copper repoussé statue in the United States, after the Statue of Liberty. Raymond Kaskey and Michael LaSalle built sections of the statue in one of the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., and shipped the parts to Portland by ship. It was assembled at a barge building facility, Gunderson, Inc. It was installed on October 6, 1985, after being floated up the Willamette River on a barge. The statue is based on the design of the city seal. It depicts a woman dressed in classical clothes, holding a trident in the left hand and reaching down with the right hand to greet visitors to the building. The statue itself is 34 feet, 10 inches high. If standing, the woman would be about 50 feet tall. An accompanying plaque contains a poem by Portland resident Ronald Talney. The statue is above street level, and faces a narrow, tree-lined street with limited automobile access.
