Federal Services - Denver, CO - Abstract Public Sculptures on Waymarking.com

"A bronze bas-relief art column entitled Federal Services by Edgar Britton is located within the landscaped plaza. The column resembles a totem pole and contains carvings inspired by Native American art. The cylinder originally acted as a canopy support, but was moved when the entrance was reconfigured. In 2006, Jim Campbell created a dynamic light installation along the Champa Street elevation, with a companion piece in the main lobby." (from (visit link) )

Edgar Britton was Colorado's most significant and successful sculptor of the 1950s, '60s and '70s. An excellent article about the artist may be found at (visit link) . Also see (visit link) .

I find this piece does help people to realize all of the services provided by Federal employees to help keep our nation safe and strong.
