general
(displayLabel="Scope and Contents note")
- To mark the bicentennial of Frederick Douglass’ birth, the City of Rochester, NY, commissioned Olivia Kim to create thirteen live-size portraits of Douglass in 2018, placing them throughout the city at sites significant to Douglass’s life and work. Kim took inspiration from Stanley W. Edwards’ nineteenth-century statue of Douglass, originally erected in front of the old New York Central Train Station in Rochester, New York. Although the works are fiberglass, Kim recreated the patinated bronze of Edward’s original work. Like Edward's original work, Douglass’ arms are slightly outstretched, his palms open upward. Kim used the hands of Kenneth B. Morris Jr., the great-great-great-grandson of Douglass, to create the hands of Douglass in her own work.
