Fish Boys – by Lorado Taft

 Location: Mix Park, Oregon

The original “Fish Boys” sculptures were designed and cast in bronze as part of Taft’s “Fountain of the Great Lakes”, at the Chicago Art Institute of Chicago, South Garden. The Oregon’s “Fish Sculptures” are constructed by a special blend of concrete and crushed quartz, incorporating pebbles from Potomac River.
