ANDRÉ PUBLIC SCULPTURES
Installation - 9m Mandela Sculpture - Union Buildings - Pretoria - 2013
In the meantime the structural engineers and building contractor prepared a foundation with registering footprint as per footprint supplied by the foundry. On the arrival on site, the sculpture was re-assembled and patina was applied over the bronze joins. With the aid of two cranes the sculpture was lifted and carefully lowered onto it’s final resting place in one day - two days before it’s unveiling.
The whole process from 2.25m scale model to installation took less than 6 months – excluding 6 months of paperwork and final approval by the various role players. That included it will be exactly 12 months as of date of first discussion with the Client.
