Description

The 16-foot (4.9 m) tall abstract sculpture is made of enameled aluminum, and rests on a concrete base.[1]

History

Loo Wit was purchased by Richard Hedreen, the developer of the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza Hotel (113 6th Avenue); Hedreen installed the sculpture outside the hotel in 1980.[1] The work was installed at Seattle University on August 31, 2015, after being gifted by Hedreen and his wife, Betty Petri Hedreen.[2]

gollark: This seems to actually be a nontrivial problem somehow?
gollark: Basically, a web-based "scratchpad" thing for transferring text and files between apiocomputers.
