FAMED ECHO INSTALLATION ADDED TO OLYMPIC SCULPTURE PARK
Forty-six feet from chin to scalp, this creation of resin, steel and marble will be gazing across the Seattle waterfront from her new perch near Pier 70. The sculpture is the image of a young Barcelona girl created by Jaume Plensa. “Echo” originally took in sights of Madison Square Park in 2011. That, we are sure, must have been traumatizing for her. We are so glad Barney A. Ebsworth has generously donated “Echo” to the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) and she will find a much more comfortable and scenic home in the Olympic Sculpture Park. Echo is just one of Plensa’s 30 plus sculptures displayed in public places.
