Dublin Fine Arts Foundation (DFAF)
Loaned Arts Program Sculpture Agreement #4

Director; dated August 4, 1994

E. ~proposed Agreement
If the Council concurs with the conditions
under which the artwork will be displayed,
authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement
and direct Staff to work with DFAF to
complete the installation.
DFAF shall pay all direct costs. Depending
on the location, additional landscape
maintenance expenses may be incurred.
DESCRIPTION . One of the initial goals of the Dublin Fine
Arts Foundation (DFAF) was to develop a "Sculpture Park" which would
provide residents with an opportunity to experience different types of
artwork. The Foundation has, on three previous occasions, made
arrangements with recognized artists to loan large sculptures to the
city of Dublin to be displayed at the DUblin civic Center.
In the attached letter from Lynne Baer, consulting Director for DFAF,
it is indicated that the Foundation would like to display a sculpture
created by Peter Voulkos. The sculpture being considered for loan is
a 47' by 18' bronze sculpture entitled "sirius". A resume of the
artist and a photo of the sculpture are attached in Exhibits Band C.
The proposed location for this sculpture would be on the rear grounds
of the Dublin civic Center adjacent to the Dublin Sports Grounds. The
general area under consideration is identified on the attached
location map (Exhibit D).
The piece was originally commissioned for the Napa Valley Corporate
Park by Kemper Real Estate Management company (Kemper). The property
has been sold and the buyers want the piece removed by the end of
September. Consequently, a site is being sought to display the work
until such time that it is sold. The cost of moving and installing
the sculpture will be borne by Kemper.
The proposed agreement (Exhibit E) is similar to previous agreements
used for loaned artwork. Kemper will retain ownership of the
sculpture and agrees to display it until such time that it is sold.
In the event that the sculpture does not sell and the City desires
that the sculpture be removed, Kemper will be responsible for
removing it at no cost to the city. The agreement also provides that
the Kemper would be responsible for the ~rovision of property
insurance coverage in the event of a loss assoclated with the display.
Staff recommends that the city council consider the proposal from DFAF
and, if approved, authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement.

Mayor Peter Snyder
city Council Members
City of Dublin 100 Civic Plaza
Dublin, CA 94568
Dear Mayor Snyder and city Council Members;
The Dublin Fine Arts Foundation is pleased to present
for your approval a large-scale bronze sculpture on long
term loan for the Dublin Sculpture Park.
The Foundation has been approached by a representative
for the Kemper Real Estate Management Company to place an
important and monumental work by the internationally known
Bay Area artist Peter Voulkos on long term loan in the
community of Dublin at their cost. Kemper needs a location
to exhibit the work until they are able to sell it because
the buyers of the property for which the work was
originally commissioned want the large-scale sculpture
removed by the end of September.
Completed in 1990, "sirius" is the largest and most
ambitious work in bronze undertaken by Voulkos in his long
and illustrious career. Voulkos is best known for his
ground-breaking work in ceramics. He was one of the first
artists in the late fifties to create large-scale sculpture
out of clay, a material that was once considered acceptable
only for small utilitarian objects. In the late sixties, he
began to work with bronze and has continued over the years
to create large-scale bronze works for major museums and
public commissions across the United States. In the Bay
Area, his bronzes can be seen at the Oakland Museum, San
Francisco Hall of Justice, and the University Art Museum in
Berkeley.
We feel this sculpture will be a positive addition to
the Dublin Sculpture Park. The Foundation appreciates the
continued support of the City council in our efforts to
integrate art into public spaces of the community.
Best regards,
~f~ f?CL-
