The Council Towers Brick Relief Sculpture is Back
Last July I posted about the brick relief sculpture being removed from the Council Towers building in midtown (Brick Relief Sculpture Nearly Removed from Council Towers). Here was the scene in July:
The developer has kept his word and rebuilt the artwork.
The sculpture was designed by artists Saunders Schultz and William Severson.

Great News!

I worked on getting that brick replaced 18 years ago, to no avail, so kudos to the current developer for getting te job done.

Well I was one of the lucky ones that had the chance to relay the brick on this job. The real trick was on the design, it was something that is not done on that large of a scale. This job was one of those jobs that I will most likely never do on this large of a scale again

That relief is really beautiful and the scale is appropriate for the view from the highway. Glad its back – another totally unique element in the St. Louis built environment.

That’s surprising. I’m shocked a landlord would actually spend the money to do this. Was a tax credit involved? I used to think it was kind of Star Trek looking.

Yes, they got tax credits for the entire complex.
Like so many pieces of famous sculpture, this one has a religious message.
