Description: |
Photographs primarily of the installation of "Here I Grew Up", a mosaic mural by Hoosier artist Garo Z. Antreasian depicting five stages of Abraham Lincoln's life in Indiana between the ages of 7 and 21. The mural is a public artwork composed of over 300,000 hand-cut glass tesserae (tiles) on a travertine marble wall measuring 70 ft by 25 ft. The mural was originally fabricated in the lobby of the Indiana State Office Building in 1963 by Ralph Peck, a Herron School of Art graduate, his assistant Mrs. Charles Pitts and another unknown individual. In the 1980s, the building was renovated and renamed Indiana Government Center North, with the South building constructed during the same period. There are also another couple of photographs of some kind of outdoor ceremony, possibly a dedication of the artwork. |
