Fulton Mall Public Art

"Yokuts Indian" - bronze by Clement Renzi

The Yokuts were masters of the San Joaquin Valley when the first settlers arrived. This particular piece was not part of the initial mall art collection. It was added in 1974, around the mall's 10th anniversary, through a donation by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Deutsch of Fresno. The seven foot high piece was cast in Italy, and rests upon a granite base. It is one of two Renzi works on the Fulton Mall, the other is The Visit. Other works by Renzi can be seen in Downtown Fresno at the Fresno County Public Library (The New Book) and at Courthouse Park (The Brotherhood of Man).

Clement Renzi is a local sculptor with extensive credentials. He studied at UC Berkley, New York, and Vienna. His works are owned by the University of Virginia, Notre Dame, Penn Academy of Arts, as well as elsewhere in Fresno and surrounding valley towns. His works are very popular and enjoy prominent places in public art installations across Central California.
