While the name “Technicolor Heart” may not sound familiar, you’ve seen it if you have been on the Pullman campus. It’s a light blue 12-foot bronze sculpture of a heart adorned in tools ring a bell yet?
The “Technicolor Heart,” by artist Jim Dine, has had a home on WSU’s campus since its donation in 2004. It has been a topic of conversation since.
Over the past 17 years, the sculpture has been the subject of praise, vandalism, critique and complaints. In 2015, it was voted the Best Art on campus by students, according to The Daily Evergreen.
The sculpture is made of bronze but painted blue with enamel paint. It is inlaid with tools, clothes and other objects that illustrate Dine’s life growing up in a hardware store with his grandfather.
