Plains Art Museum

The Plains Art Museum will conserve the fiberglass-resin sculpture, Sodbuster, San Isidro (1982), by artist Luis Jimenez (1940-2006), and reinstall the work in the new Fargo City Hall Civic Plaza. The project will include a long-term monitoring and maintenance plan to ensure the sculpture's care into the future. The sculpture was removed from view 12 years ago after being damaged by the harsh outdoor conditions it had been subjected to for 20 years, and the public and the City of Fargo want this signature work returned to public view. . This project also responds to the community's desire for more public art to enliven Fargo's civic spaces and civic life, as expressed in Fargo's new comprehensive plan.
