Description and history

Plaque for the sculpture

According to the Regional Arts & Culture Council, which administers the work, the cast concrete sculpture measures 48 inches (120 cm) x 14 inches (36 cm) x 72 inches (180 cm) and rests on a base that measures 24 inches (61 cm) x 20 inches (51 cm) x 20 inches (51 cm). The organization lists "MAC 1979–80" as the funding source.[2] However, the Smithsonian Institution lists the sculpture's measurements as 45 inches (110 cm) x 45 inches (110 cm) x 16 inches (41 cm), on a base that measures approximately 21 inches (53 cm) x 20 inches (51 cm) x 16 inches (41 cm). The Smithsonian categorizes Uroboros as abstract ("geometric") and notes that it was commissioned by the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) before being donated to the park.[3]

The sculpture is part of the City of Portland and Multnomah County Public Art Collection courtesy of the Regional Arts & Culture Council.[2][4]
