Description

Black and white photograph of a large, round stone urn crafted by Eric Soderholtz, placed on a grassy lawn beside a dense, rounded shrub, with trees and other vegetation in the background. Taken at Thuya Garden, Northeast Harbor, Maine, this photograph shows a prominent, spherical stone urn sitting in a sun-lit, grassy area. To the right of the urn is a large, bushy shrub, creating a strong visual contrast between the man-made object and the organic plant. The background reveals more shrubs, a variety of trees, and a generally serene garden setting. 1994. Jill Linzee, photograph. (See p16235-p16244.) (See NA4800.)

Save Outdoor Sculpture! (SOS!) (1990-1995) was a nationwide survey that ran from 1990-1995 documenting America’s outdoor sculpture. Established in 1990, SOS! helped educate local communities about America’s endangered sculptural heritage. The Maine Arts Commission was one of 106 organizations to participate in this survey.
