Remarks:
The sculpture was initially completed and installed in 1972. The sculpture was vandalized over a ten year period, and in the 1980s, it was repaired, reworked and renamed (Citadel). During the restoration, loose tubing was removed, open spaces were closed and nozzles were replaced. The artist's son, Christopher, assisted with the restoration. Funds for the restoration were provided by the college Foundation. The original fountain sculpture had been donated by the artist to the college. IAS files include copies of artist's original drawings. IAS image files contain before and after photographs of the sculpture. IAS files contain copy of related material from the Florida Suncoast Almanac, Summer 1986, pg. 79.
