The mysterious installation depicts William Clark s enslaved servant, York, in a spot where another statue once stood.
After a year that saw many of Portland s plinths tumbling like bowling pins, the Rose City has finally placed something new on a pedestal.
The bust of York an enslaved laborer owned by explorer William Clark during his expedition to Oregon with Meriwether Lewis arrived mysteriously sometime before dawn on Saturday, Feb. 20, at Mount Tabor Park. This piece of art was a complete surprise to Portland Parks & Recreation, said Adena Long, the bureau s director. I really appreciate the tribute to York, she said. It has brought this important story to light for many Portlanders and people across the country. To me, that seems like what public art is all about, education and inspiration.
