J.
Patrick Lannan was a wealthy financier who accumulated more than 5,000 pieces
of contemporary painting and sculpture during his lifetime. Lannan died in 1983
at the age of 78 and the first major gift donated by his foundation was to Palm
Beach Junior College.
Four
works, made of Maine marble by three artists, were installed on the Lake Worth
campus over the summer and fall of 1986. The J. Patrick Lannan Sculpture
Garden, as it became known, was designed by Miami-based architect Mark Hampton.
The
piece suspended from the crane is by Japanese sculptor Yassur Mizui, titled
"L'echo du Rive." It is 7' 8" high and six feet wide and weighs
over 10 tons.
In
the foreground is part of a composite called "Wir sind noch keine menschen
im humanistichen sinne" (translated as "We are not yet human in the
spirit of humanity.") The sculpture, made up of 16 pieces weighing 15
tons, is by German sculptor Erich Reischke.
