Allow Me, Bronze sculpture in Pioneer Courthouse Square, Portland, US
The life-sized bronze figure stands 6 feet 10 inches tall, wearing a business suit while holding an umbrella and hailing a taxi cab.
Created by John Seward Johnson II in 1983, the sculpture was donated to Portland in 1984 and underwent major restoration in California during 1995.
The sculpture represents a common Portland scene, with the figure dressed for rain and positioned above the square's amphitheater near the Meier & Frank Building.
The statue receives annual cold wax coating treatments to maintain its appearance and prevent damage from weather conditions and urban pollution.
The figure's watch, rhubarb-colored tie, and pointing index finger demonstrate the detailed craftsmanship of this 460-pound bronze, aluminum, and steel creation.
