The City of Oklahoma City commissioned Napa, California artist Gordon Huether to create an integrated public art sculpture for the new Police Headquarters in downtown Oklahoma City. The installation has been seamlessly integrated with the existing memorial monuments, which are the focal point of this new installation.

The installation is integrated into the hardscape and is intended as a gathering place to commemorate fallen officers and their families, friends and colleagues. The installation of the sculpture was completed in November 2015 by Huether’s team.

Huether designed the Memorial Plaza in a logical and practical manner in order to support the annual memorial event held at the Police Headquarters, as well as the day-to-day use and enjoyment of the space by officers and citizens throughout the rest of the year.

The $207,500 public art project is funded through Oklahoma City’s 1% for Art Ordinance The installation is made of aluminum and dichroic glass, is set on a round 18-foot diameter concrete pedestal-like foundation, and is approximately 12 foot tall, measured from the base of the pedestal.

The memorial sculpture entitled ‘In Honor of the Fallen’ by Gordon Huether is situated in front of the new 88,625 square-foot Oklahoma City Police Headquarters building which opened November 2, 2015.
