Untitled, Steel sculpture in downtown Portland, United States.
Untitled is a steel sculpture in downtown Portland made up of intersecting metal plates that rise at sharp angles from the ground. The structure creates an open framework where viewers can see through and around the overlapping geometric forms from different viewpoints.
Created in 1977 by sculptor John Killmaster, this work emerged from the industrial design movement that shaped urban art in the late 1970s. It represents a period when artists began placing large abstract works directly in public spaces throughout American cities.
The sculpture stands as an example of Portland's commitment to integrating abstract art into public spaces through the Regional Arts and Culture Council initiatives.
The sculpture sits at a busy downtown intersection and works well as a landmark for visitors navigating the surrounding streets. It can be viewed from multiple angles since it stands in an open area without barriers, allowing people to walk around it freely.
The steel surfaces change how they look throughout the day as sunlight creates different reflections and shadow patterns on the metal. This means the sculpture appears visually different depending on when visitors stop by and what angle they view it from.
