Description and history
Manuel Izquierdo's Unfolding Rhythms (1987) is an abstract painted metal sculpture, installed outside the Oregon Dental Services (ODS) Building on Southwest Fifth Avenue between Oak Street and Stark Street. It measures approximately 10 feet (3.0 m) x 5.5 feet (1.7 m) x 5.5 feet (1.7 m). The sculpture was funded by ODS and is enclosed by a fence at night. An inscription on its northeast side reads, "UNFOLDING RHYTHMS / Manuel Izquierdo / 2-10-1987" (the copyright date), and displays a copyright symbol with the artist's signature.
