"The project consists of 4 separate sculptures, each representing a European period in art history – Renaissance, Baroque, Art Nouveau & Contemporary. The freestanding sculptures are approximately 9 feet tall, with each unit constructed of five different pieces of variously forged iron pieces. The artist, Stefan Duerst , immigrated 5 ½ years ago from Munich, and views the sculpture as a visual and conceptual “Thank You” to Canada and his new home of Kingston. This project was initiated by the United Way via a donation from Kincore Holdings , while the proposal for a public art installation was vetted by the Downtown Kingston BIA and the City of Kingston’s Arts Advisory Committee . The installation is on the south side of Brock Street, in the parkette across from Le Chien Noir and Atomica." www.kingstonist.com (brock-street-art-project)
