Hop on a Tram and Discover a Hidden Gem: Untitled Sculpture of Portland

Catch a ride on TriMet, cruise into Portland's buzzing Transit Mall, and stumble upon Untitled - a striking, 1977 abstract artwork, sharing space with urban trains. Can't say we blame the kiddos 🤓 or the old-timers 👴💼 for loving it!

Hop aboard a TriMet tram and journey to the heart of Portland to check out Untitled, a brilliantly brash masterpiece by Ivan Morrison. Nestled yet noticeable, this vivid, 1977 aluminum treasure exhibits a splash of colors, harmonizing with the urban hustle and bustle. Measuring a tidy 7 feet by 8 feet 6 inches, Untitled is a perfect hangout for kids evading reality 'round Portland's bustling city. Craftily enough, Untitled was featured on Smithsonian Institution's renowned walking tour, boasting hidden panels ideal for hide-and-seek, ensuring enjoyment for both kids and big kids at heart. Whether you're an art aficionado or a regular Transit Mall visitor, you'll both concur that this not-so-secret spot was given a 'treatment urgent' label by Smithsonian's 'Save Outdoor Sculpture!' back in 1993. These days, it's part of the collection of the Regional Arts & Culture Council.
