Description

The painted steel sculpture measures 7 feet (2.1 m) x 8 feet (2.4 m) x 5 feet (1.5 m) and was donated by Ed Cauduro in 2002 in memory of his parents Ernest and Teresa Cauduro.[2][3] It is part of the City of Portland and Multnomah County Public Art Collection courtesy of the Regional Arts & Culture Council.[4] According to The Culture Trip, Contact II is "representative of Liberman's oeuvre as it is painted in red and its form centres on a circular shape, both of which were often repeated in his works".[5]
