The National Portrait Gallery has commissioned its largest portrait yet...Coming this fall:"Out of Many, One" by Jorge Rodríguez-GeradaOct. 1 through 31 National Mall, south side of the reflecting poolA grand landscape portrait from Cuban American urban artist Jorge Rodríguez-Gerada will be placed temporarily on the National Mall from October 1 through October 31. "Out of Many, One," the English translation of E pluribus unum, will stretch across 6 acres of land midway between the World War II and Lincoln memorials along the south side of the reflecting pool.
The work, created from dirt and sand, is a composite portrait of several people photographed in Washington, D.C. It will not only be an interactive walk-through experience for visitors but will also be viewable from the newly reopened Washington Monument and from space.The work will come together in large part due to a group of in-kind donors, including Clark Construction, Chaney Enterprises, The Bulldog Group, Alvin Hatcher Group and Topcon, with consulting assistance from Terry Stancill. The National Portrait Gallery presents "Out of Many, One," by Rodríguez-Gerada in partnership with the Trust for the National Mall and the National Park Service.
