Acquisition and installation

The Association for Public Art (formerly the Fairmount Park Art Association) acquired and installed Iroquois in 2007 after it was donated by art patron and humanitarian David N. Pincus.[3] The executive director of the Association for Public Art, Penny Balkin Bach, described the gift as "the most generous contribution made by a private donor to public sculpture in Philadelphia,"[4] and "the most important contemporary sculpture to come to Philadelphia since Claes Oldenburg's Clothespin in 1976."[5] Before Iroquois came to Philadelphia, the sculpture had been on loan to the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan.[6] The sculpture stands alongside Symbiosis, a stainless steel "dendroid" sculpture by artist Roxy Paine that was installed by the Association for Public Art in 2014.[7]
