The Fairmount Park Art Association will install Philadelphia’s newest landmark – Iroquois by internationally renowned sculptor Mark di Suvero on June 22, 2007.
The monumental 40-foot high, 35,000 pound (17.5 ton) brightly painted steel sculpture will be located along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in a grassy plot across from the Philadelphia Museum of Art near Eakins Oval and Spring Garden Street.

Mark di Suvero’s monumental Iroquois has a robust energy and physical presence. The abstract sculpture is formed from painted steel I-beams, which are emblematic of the artist’s use of industrial materials.
