Description and history
Plaque for the sculpture

Originally completed in 1980 and remade in 2003, Triad was designed by Evelyn Franz, who received her Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture in 1976 from Portland State University. The abstract stainless steel sculpture was funded by the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) and is installed between Southeast 37th Avenue and Southeast Ankeny in Laurelhurst Park. According to the Regional Arts & Culture Council, which administers the work, it measures 7 feet (2.1 m), 5 inches (13 cm) x 5 feet (1.5 m), 5 inches (13 cm) x 2 feet (0.61 m), 5 inches (13 cm).[1] The Smithsonian Institution lists the measurements as approximately 50 inches (130 cm) x 8 feet (2.4 m) x 2 feet (0.61 m).[2] The sculpture contains no inscriptions and rests on a stainless steel base which measures approximately 16 inches (41 cm) x 80 inches (200 cm) x 30 inches (76 cm).[2] It is part of the City of Portland and Multnomah County Public Art Collection courtesy of the Regional Arts & Culture Council.[3]

Its condition was deemed "treatment needed" by the Smithsonian's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in November 1994.[2]
