Sentinels by Aristides Demetrios
This one piece is titled Sentinels. It is by Aristides Demetrios who has been in this site before with his aeolian harp. This piece of welded bronze plates is titled sentinels and was done in 1973. The piece is on permanent loan from the SF Arts Commission. In May 2010 the SFAC acknowledge that there was need for a complete conservation assessment as the piece was showing significant corrosion at the seams due to trapped moisture. It was assumed at that time that the work would cost between $40 and $50,000. The work has not been done as of 7/2012.
I really like it – hope they get to the restoration soon!
I like it. I hope they will fix it.
It has been out in the elements for almost 40 years. I hope it will get restored.
Interesting piece. I like it too.
Somehow I expect metal to be impervious to degradation. I should know better. I wonder how long it will take to make it to the top of the list.
