Description
David Gilhooly's Performing Frogs (1982) is a ceramic sculpture depicting frogs performing acrobatics that was originally atop six concrete pillars. Some of the frogs have birds sitting on their heads. It is installed at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts. A nearby plaque reads: Performing Frogs/David Gilhooly/1982. The sculpture's condition was deemed "treatment urgent" by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in October 1993. It is administered by the City of Eugene.[1]
The deteriorating sculpture was later moved indoors, above one of the Hult Center's entrances.
