Triad is an outdoor sculpture by German American artist Evelyn Franz, located in Laurelhurst Park in southeast Portland, Oregon.
Originally completed in 1980 and remade in 2003, Triad was designed by Evelyn Franz, who received her Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture in 1976 from Portland State University. The abstract stainless steel sculpture was funded by the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) and is installed between Southeast 37th Avenue and Southeast Ankeny in Laurelhurst Park. According to the Regional Arts & Culture Council, which administers the work, it measures 7feet, 5inches tall, 5feet, 5inches long and 2feet, 5inches wide .[1] The Smithsonian Institution lists the measurements as approximately 50inches tall, 8feet long and 2feet wide .[2] The sculpture contains no inscriptions and rests on a stainless steel base which measures approximately 16inches tall, 80inches long and 30inches wide.[2] It is part of the City of Portland and Multnomah County Public Art Collection courtesy of the Regional Arts & Culture Council.[3]
Its condition was deemed "treatment needed" by the Smithsonian's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in November 1994.[2]
