Entry No. 36 — the Portland file — filed under: outdoor

Kvinneakt

This bronze abstract nude by Seattle sculptor Norman Taylor was picked from over 500 competition entries for the 1970s Transit Mall — then became infamous as the statue future mayor Bud Clark was photographed flashing for the 1978 'Expose Yourself to Art' poster that sold a quarter million copies. It's also survived a 1981 theft attempt, an April Fools' bra-dressing, and a 2007 vodka-ad airbrushing scandal.

The move: Find the statue on the transit mall, then track down a print of the original 'Expose Yourself to Art' poster at a downtown record or poster shop to see the exact pose recreated.
