Lundeberg Derby Monument, Public monument at Seattle Convention Center, United States
The Lundeberg Derby Monument features a trellis base forming an open cube with a tripod structure supporting a cone-shaped torso and twenty-four aluminum profiles.
Created in 1987 by artist Buster Simpson, the monument integrates references to the 1855 treaty signing by Chief Sealth and the first survey map of Seattle.
The installation combines representations of Chief Seattle and George Washington through architectural elements, addressing the relationship between native and colonial histories.
The monument stands 28 feet tall near the Seattle Convention Center, incorporating a mechanical watering system that maintains the English ivy growing on its structure.
The wind vane component trims the ivy maintaining George Washington's bust shape while demonstrating the natural forces affecting the sculpture throughout the seasons.
