Description


Weltzin Blix's Wind-Rain Song (1982) is installed outside the Hult Center for the Performing Arts. Previously, the abstract work was installed inside the Conference Center adjacent to Hult and the Hilton Hotel. It was moved to its current site, a pedestrian plaza, seven years later. According to the Smithsonian Institution, "The artist was very pleased, and constructed a piece to add to the bottom of shaft, making the sculpture the size that he had initially envisioned when he designed it." It measures approximately 20 ft x 22 ft, 8 in x 1 ft, 1 in. A nearby plaque reads: WIND-RAIN SONG / WELTZIN BLIX / 1982. The sculpture was surveyed and deemed "treatment needed" by Smithsonian's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in October 1993.
