29 Aggravation de l'Espace 1980
Jean Boutellis (b. 1937)
painted steel
Central Parkway at Plum Street

Aggravation de l'Espace

Painted bright red, this abstract sculpture is poised on three appendages, and is geometric and minimal in its style. A gift to the city by the artist, it once stood at the steps to City Hall. Ironically, it became, like its name implies, an aggravation for pedestrians and was moved to a more appropriate location on Central Parkway. The sculpture now stands as a beacon to direct traffic around the bend and along the axis of Central Parkway.
