The Falconer is a bronze sculpture by James Lee Hansen. Dates for the abstract piece range from the 1960s to 1973.[1] [2]
The bronze sculpture, which depicts abstract tools of the falconry trade, measures approximately 3feet x 18inches x 14inches and weighs between 200 and 300 lbs. It rests on a concrete base that is 3feet, 1inches tall and has a diameter of 2feet.[1] [2]
The Falconer was installed by Prince Lucien Campbell Hall on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, Oregon, after being donated by Jordan Schnitzer in 1974.[3] The sculpture was surveyed and deemed "treatment needed" by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1994.[1] It was stolen in November 2008. The university offered a $2,000 reward for information leading to the work's return.[2] [4]
