Background for Motion: Background Summary: The Art in Public Places Policy (Section 3.2) requires that the deaccession of public art be approved by both the Arts Commission and the City Council. At the Arts Commission meeting of August 1, 2023, staff present the Arts Commission with the current condition reports and deaccession requests for the Centennial Mural by artist Tom Teitge and You Are Here - Millennium Sundial by artist Ries Niemi. The Arts Commission voted in favor of deaccessioning both pieces, given they are damaged beyond reasonable repair and repair costs far exceed the current value of each piece. Rev iewed by Council Committees: Councilmember:Brown Staff:Faber Meeting Date:September 25, 2023 Item Number: Page 78 of 111 City of Auburn, WA Request for the Deaccession of Public Artwork Please see The City’s Deaccession Policy and procedure before removing any objects from the permanent collection. Please use one form per item. Artwork: Centennial Mural Artist: Tom Teitge Location: East Main and B Street NE, Auburn, WA Date Accessioned: May 12, 1989 Acquisition Method: Grant Funded Commission Original Cost: $17,500 Current Market Value: $23,186 Current Insurance Value: $23,186 Estimated cost of Repair: $5,000-$8,000 Condition: Destroyed Poor Very Poor Fair Good Very Good Excellent Reason for Deaccession (Check all that apply): Theft of the artwork. Damage beyond reasonable repair, and/or artwork is damaged to the extent that it no longer represents the artist’s intent, and/or it is damaged to the extent that the expenses of restoration and repair are found to equal or exceed current market value of the artwork. Portable artwork is not, or is only rarely, on display due to lack of a suitable site. For site-integrated or site-specific artworks, the site for which the artwork was specifically created is structurally or otherwise altered and can no longer accommodate the artwork, is made publicly inaccessible as a result of new construction, demolition, or security enhancement, or has its surrounding environment altered in a way that significantly and adversely impacts the artwork. For site-integrated or site-specific artworks, the site for which the artwork was specifically created is sold or acquired by an entity other than City of Auburn. There exists a documented history of incident(s) that shows the artwork is a threat to public safety. The artist legally exercises the Right of Disassociation granted by the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990, preventing the use of his or her name as the creator of the artwork. The artwork requires excessive maintenance to the extent that the expenses are found to equal or exceed current market value of the artwork. The City wishes to replace the artwork with another work by the same artist. At the time of accessioning, if complete information on the provenance of the artwork is not available, or more information has since become available, indicating that the artwork does not meet accession or art selection criteria. The artwork has become a violation of a city code, policy or regulation. Page 79 of 111 City of Auburn, WA Request for the Deaccession of Public Artwork Additional Reasons/notes: Wall façade is crumbling and in disrepair. Extensive peeling of painting, leading to loss of some sections. Documentation of correspondence with the artist regarding the above: See Attached Agreement that Artist has been notified and has NOT requested reconsideration. Artist has requested reconsideration: N/A Photo documentation of site conditions, if applicable: See attached at end of document Police Report: N/A Artwork will (after proposed deaccession) be: Returned to Artist. Repurposed by City. Disposed of by City. Transferred. Other: The owner of the building on which the mural is painted has full discretion over the work. Date of Return/Repurpose/Disposal/Transfer: N/A Additional notes: There are tentative plans for a future owner of this building. In the case we do not deaccession the piece, the wall will fall into further disrepair as the cost of restoration exceeds the original cost of commission and accession.

Thank you very much for your time today talking with me on the phone about the City of Auburn's plans to deaccession the "Centennial Mural." Due to the deteriorating condition of the wall on which it was painted, we are no longer able to maintain this artwork, but have been very proud to have it as a favorite mural in Auburn since 1989. Just to reiterate what we discussed, the City of Auburn would like to deaccession the artwork, meaning that it will no longer be under our responsibility to insure or maintain and will be removed from our official list of permanent collection artworks, after which point the building owner will be free to do what they wish with the wall and mural. We appreciate your understanding and are greatly appreciative of the artwork that has meant so much to Auburn and its community.

The artwork has become a violation of a city code, policy or regulation. Additional Reasons/notes: The wood beneath the metal is rotting and splintering causing metal to become lose and unattached from wood. The repairs complexity would cause need for either the artist to repair themselves or to oversee repair, artist has stated that they will not be able to take responsibility for the repairs. The surface of the piece involves individual interlocking metal panels that each stand at a different level of relief from the wood making the creation of a new table for the piece complex. The cost to repair and pay for labor outweighs the current worth of the piece, and the price the piece was originally purchased at.

Be careful opening links and attachments I am reluctantly having to admit, mostly to myself, that I just dont have the time or energy to rebuild this piece, and I should let you know that, yes, you should probably deaccession it. I am getting too old to do this scale of work, and no longer have full time staff in the metal shop. Also, it was a very low price to begin with, for what it was, and everything is much more expensive now. The original piece used recycled lumber that was already a hundred years old. And, as we can see, that had a lifespan of around 15 to 20 years. New lumber is not even available, nor would it last much longer. If I was going to rebuild this piece, I would build a steel subframe, probably from something like 3” angle iron, that would sit on top of the steel legs, and then, I would use 2” x 6” Trex or similar composite plastic/wood decking. The available composite material is not as thick as the original Page 97 of 111 beams, or as wide, and it needs cross supports every 2 or 3 feet. Then, the surface metal and stone would need to be fitted into the decking- the way I did this last time was very labor intensive and fussy, tracing each piece, routing a place for them to sit, then bolting them thru the decking. I can see this taking me, who has done it before and set up to do it, a couple weeks to build the metal subframing, and another couple weeks to fit the inlays, then needing to transport the whole big thing as one unit, on a big truck. I am willing to consult, if you want to try to find a contractor willing to take this on, but I just cant commit to doing it myself, as I would have in the past.

Be careful opening links and attachments Alison, I am certainly open to the idea of a souceable composite. I would like to see pictures of it before you do it, of course, but that seems like a smart idea to me. This piece was done in about 2001, 22 years ago, for a very low budget, and I sourced the recycled wood, both because I liked the idea of recycling, and the wood was beautiful and not too expensive. But 20 years is a very reasonable lifetime for a recycled organic material like that. The metal parts have bolts that go thru the planks, with nuts on the bottom. Some of the stone pieces were, I think, glued in place, in routed out spots. Its been a while, I cant remember all the details. I think the big sun is all one piece, and spans several planks, and is bolted down. The big stone circles are glued down, though, I believe with silicone. They can be removed, carefully, and reglued to a new substrate. Let me know what you find out. Ries Here it was, brand new, in 2001. <image001.jpg> On Feb 27, 2023, at 4:16 PM, Allison Hyde <ahyde@auburnwa.gov> wrote: Ries, Hello! Thank you for getting back to me. I see. I had figured getting lumber to match Page 99 of 111 would likely be a bit specialty and perhaps also very expensive. Yes, the piece of wood that is rotted and damaged has the metal on top of it. Currently there is a rusty bolt sticking out that is a hazard, so we might need to just do a bit of a patch job for safety reasons sooner than later. As far as bigger picture maintenance planning, if we have to remove the entire top to replace that board, it seems smart to replace any or all that are in need of replacement. Given the age of the piece and the inevitable weathering that it will face over time, I wonder if you would consider allowing us to replace the wood with a similar-looking composite instead so that the piece can be more durable for maintenance concern reasons? I am merely anticipating that the expense and time involved with removing the metal top, replacing the board, or all boards while we are at it, will fall into the major restoration project category, and hence, a possible discussion weighing the pros and cons of spending that much to restore a piece with wood that might possible continue to be a maintenance problem. I know that making such a change would be a rather dramatic change to the artwork, and I do not mean to take your artistic intention and material choices lightly. I appreciate any thoughts or ideas you have about it, and I will try to get an estimate soon for the possible restoration. Do parts of the metal come apart in sections maybe, and we could just do pieces of the wood to be replaced as-needed? It looks like one big piece that would need to be completely take off to replace the wood… Thanks!

Be careful opening links and attachments Allison, I am currently in South America, where I live part of each year, sorry it took me a while to get back to you. Page 100 of 111 The wood on that piece is recycled old growth timber, which I originally purchased over 20 years ago from Duluth Timber. At that time, the beams were probably already over 100 years old, cut from trees that were 200 to 300 years old. They were salvaged most likely from WW1 era military warehouses in Minnesota, and similar timbers were used to build Bill Gates’ mansion in Bellevue. So, they are not exactly a catalog item. I know that several years ago, you guys replaced one or both of the bench timbers, which were similar, and I dont know where the replacements are, or where they were sourced from. Duluth used to have a branch in Washington State, which closed several years ago, but all their supplies were unique, not stock items. I do have a friend who is very knowledgable about sourcing large timbers, who I can consult. So- first you should check with the Auburn maintainence people, see if anybody knows where they got the bench timbers. If that doesnt work, send me the dimensions of the beams- in inches. I may have a paper file in a loft at my studio, but I wont be back there til mid april. If I have the dimensions, I can see what might be available. Do the bad beams have inlaid stone or metal on the top surface? If so, I would probably need to rout the indentations to reset them.
