Nearby plaque: "Mary Brownstein. Procession. Pigmented cement. Sculpture Purchase Competition. 'Procession is the celebration of rites of spring, of death, of birth, of life.' She elevates the human figure, placing it on a pedestal, as if to say that the art is contained in the human experience."

Prior to installation, the sculpture was shown in an "Exhibition of Contemporary Sculpture by Twenty-Seven Artists" in Washington, D.C.
