Jonathan Borofsky’s sculpture, Hammering Man is undergoing repairs after 14 years of working in front of the Seattle Art Museum. Workers have put its arm in a sling, until the sculpture can be repaired. The piece is one of many such sculptures by Borofsky, but is particularly dear to Seattle natives as a symbol of the Seattle Art Museum. Ironically, the Seattle Art Museum is currently closed, set to re-open in 2007.
I just love the fact the sculpture now has a sling.
