I saw several pieces of art at the Douglass-Truth branch of the Seattle Public Library System when I arrived, but none of them was identified as the piece named "Renouveau", so I asked at the information desk. None of the workers here this afternoon knew nothing of any art named "Renouveau", and knew of no other art in the building. One gentleman told me he had been working there since before the library was remodeled a few years ago.
Since no one there seemed to know where this art was located, I walked through the library looking for some hidden or obscurely placed piece of art. I found three small busts on the shelves, but those appeared to have been purchased at a store. A short while later I saw this object, but at the time I didn't recognize it as art. You'll understand why when you look at the pictures.
Later as I was about to leave I was saw this object from another angle and noticed something I had missed before. As I got closer to it I realized that this was not simply a functional object, but it was also a piece of art.
I could not find a plaque or label for this piece of art, but the people working in the library did know that this particular piece was donated to the library by the Friends of the Seattle Public Library.
