Fulton Mall Public Art

"Aquarius Ovoid" - brass water fountain by George Tsutakawa

George Tsutakawa was a prominent Asian-American sculptor. He joined the University of Washington art faculty beginning in 1946.  He had over 50 major exhibits, including international exhibits in Berlin, Sao Paulo, Brazil, Portland; Denver, Oakland, San Francisco and San Diego. His fountains can be found throughout the Pacific Northwest. Aquarius refers to water, and Ovoid, an oval shape. Thus a fountain carrying water through an oval. Prior to its installation in Fresno, Aquarius Ovoid was installed at the United States Science Pavilion at the Seattle World's Fair. Another Tsutakawa piece, Obos, can be found at the south end of the mall, near Kern.
