Hunt’s portfolio of over 160 public sculptures available for the first time on Public Art Archive’s free discovery platform.

​

The Richard Hunt Legacy Foundation and Creative West’s (formerly WESTAF) Public Art Archive™ are pleased to announce a new partnership developed to inventory, document, and provide free online access to a comprehensive catalog of Richard Hunt’s extensive public art commissions throughout the United States. As the most prolific public sculptor in the United States, Hunt’s artistic legacy, seen in works installed across parks, universities, and a multitude of public spaces, is paramount to the history of public art in the U.S. 

 

Richard Hunt’s growing archive of public artworks and information about the project is now viewable at https://explore.publicartarchive.org/richard-hunt. With each artwork added to the archive, a new site to visit and explore is added to an interactive map of Hunt's works throughout the country. While the archive project is underway, both Foundation and Archive leaders hope to collaborate with organizations, artists, journalists, and scholars to gain insights and cultivate context—including articles, photographs, interviews, and other materials—to make the archive a robust and comprehensive resource for all audiences.
