Cast no. 1/6. The sculpture was loaned to the city, originally for one year, by Austin developers Max Kugler and Dick Rathgeber. It was installed in Republic Square Park pending construction of the developers' new University Office Park. A display agreement with the city was reached in August 1986. Designed in 1985, the base cost $1,500 and was paid for by Downtown Austin Partners, Inc. IAS files contain related article from The Austin American-Statesman, Jan. 12, 1986, Sec.
