Zig Zag - Anna Maria Island, FL - Smithsonian Art Inventory Sculptures on Waymarking.com

The SAI listing provides a history of this object being relocated several times. In Sept 2007 I took these pictures of it on Anna Maria Island. The Inventory lists the city as Tampa. Photos taken match those on the Inventory sheet.

Description: Abstract sculpture consists of a series of squared-off rungs, welded together in parallel lines forming sheet-like planes. There are three planes, each attached to the other at a sharp angle or "zig-zag" fashion.

Provenance: Formerly located Studio of Linda Howard, 527 72nd Street, Holmes Beach, Florida June 1993-1995.
NCNB National Bank Park, Ashley Boulevard, Tampa, Florida 1989-1992.

Remarks: Originally in the collection of the Hodgell-Gillman Gallery, Tampa. Purchased by the City of Tampa for $16,000, from a One Percent for Art fund to celebrate Tampa's centennial. Installed at City Hall in 1987, and moved to NCNB National Bank Park, (later Nations Bank) in 1989. After being vandalized in October 1992, sculpture was removed to City storage. In June 1993, the artist picked up the sculpture in order to begin restoring it, including replacing missing rungs and adding a coating. The restored sculpture was reinstalled at its current location, Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, in October 1995. Nearby plaque reads: ZIG ZAG/brushed aluminum/Linda Howard/sponsored by the City of Tampa/Art in Public Places Program/1987. IAS files include information from City files concerning the sculpture's purchase and restoration.
