Jonathan Borofsky

Jonathan Borofsky's 48-foot-tall Hammering Man is commissioned by the City of Seattle with the support of the Seattle Art Commission's 1% for Art program, the Virginia Wright Fund, and the Seattle-based group PONCHO-Patrons of Northwest Civic, Cultural, and Charitable Organizations. Though officially part of the City of Seattle's art collection, Borofsky's large-scale sculpture is positioned at the entryway to the new Seattle Art Museum and quickly becomes a symbol of the museum.
