Description
This April 1980 photograph shows the installation of the Indo Arch, a public art piece design by Sacramento State University Art Professor Gerald Walburg. The sculpture's appearance came with criticism. It was felt, particularly by historian and artist Ted Baggelmann, that its steel composition might might bleed rust once coming into contact with rain. Another criticism related to the context of the arch, amidst a vernacular-style motel and city parking garage. To the left of the frame is the Holiday Inn Motel at 300 J Street, while to the right is Macy's Department Store at 414 K Street. The Arch frames the California Western State Life Insurance Building at 926 J Street.
