What artworks from the city's Portable Works Collection would our staff choose to be in an exhibition? Come down to the Seattle Municipal Tower Gallery and find out in the exhibition Staff Picks.
The exhibition features 24 artworks, including sculptures, drawings and paintings. See artworks such as Peter Ivanoff's How the West Was Won and Lost, a drawing of shopping carts circling like covered wagons. Huang built a face from found objects including hubcaps and gloves in his sculpture Take a Look. Justin Gibbens created an Audubon-like illustration of a fantastical creature in his Double-headed Red Tail.
"It has been interesting to see what each employee has chosen," said Assistant City Curator Blake Haygood. "Each work will be accompanied by a short statement explaining why it was picked."
The Portable Works Collection contains more than 2,800 artworks managed by the Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs.
Artists in the exhibition: Glen Alps, Rick Araluce, Rick Bartow, Lynn Basa, Jennifer Dixon, Beth Elliot, John Feodorov, Claudia Fitch, Mark Frey, Karen Ganz, Justin Gibbens, Lois Graham, Randy Hayes, Michael Hensley, Meng Huang, Etsuko Ichikawa, Peter Ivanoff, William Kentridge, Hugo Ludeña, Charlotte Meyer, Julia Ricketts, Jake Seniuk, Xavier Viaramontes and Nancy Worden.
