''River Legend'' is an outdoor 1976 basalt sculpture by Dimitri Hadzi, located outside of the Edith Green – Wendell Wyatt Federal Building in Portland, Oregon. ==Description and history== ''River Legend'', designed by Dimitri Hadzi, is a basalt allegorical sculpture located outside the Edith Green – Wendell Wyatt Federal Building in Downtown Portland. It was commissioned for $65,000 in the 1970s by the General Services Administration's Art-in-Architecture Program and completed in September 1976.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://siris-artinventories.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?&profile=all&source=~!siartinventories&uri=full=3100001~!5166~!0#focus )〕 The sculpture measures x x .〔 It is made of Columbia Basin basalt and named for tribal crossings of the Columbia River (according to Hadzi, the former land bridge called Bridge of the Gods near Cascade Locks).〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://culturenow.org/entry&permalink=06028&seo=River-Legend_Dimitri-Hadzi )〕 ''The Oregonian'' described ''River Legend'' as a "street-level, dark-hued arch, made edgy by blond spiky protrusions around one segment".〔 Despite being publicly financed, the sculpture was initially hidden from general public view since the building's original architect felt the arch competed with the its design. It was installed on the building's plaza and was visible to occupants and visitors, but not from the street.〔 Hadzi constructed a full-size cardboard replica to illustrate to the architect how it would look outside the building; according to Hadzi, the architect eventually realized "it was a mistake not to have (sculpture ) up front".〔 ''River Legend'' was relocated to the exterior in 2013 after the Edith Green – Wendell Wyatt Federal Building underwent a major renovation.〔 According to the Smithsonian Institution, the work remains administered by General Services Administration's Art-in-Architecture Program.〔 Though not currently on display, the Smithsonian American Art Museum's collection includes a maquette of ''River Legend''. The cast bronze maquette measures 11 1/8 x 15 x 7 in. (28.1 x 38.0 x 17.9 cm) and is set on a marble base.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://americanart.si.edu/collections/search/artwork/?id=9816 )〕
