One of the most striking pieces of the Oregon Convention Center’s public art collection will be reinvigorated soon, as the 28-year-old “Bell Circles II” art piece will be updated to span the footprint of the entire convention center.
The Robert Coburn installation, which memorializes the relationship between Portland and three of its Asian sister cities, will greet visitors from the north as well as south once the Japanese bell is located at the southeast corner of the center, near the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. and Lloyd boulevards.
