Kaskey, a nationally renowned award-winning sculptor and architect, draws on sources like the ancient Greeks and Renaissance masters, and then reinterprets classical themes and formal strategies to make them relevant for today’s society and audiences. By combining continuity with the past with innovation and craft knowledge the Kaskey Studio has produced a prominent body of public work.
He is the creator of the architectural sculptures for the National World War II Memorial on the Mall in Washington, D.C. and “Portlandia,” a 38-foot-high hammered copper sculpture on the Portland Public Services Building in Portland, Oregon.
Other notable commissions include his bronze lions honoring fallen officers at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C; the statue of Pierre de Coubertin at the Olympic Centennial Park in Atlanta, Georgia; and the ”Gem of the Lakes” fountain and the cast stone ornament of the Harold Washington Library, both in Chicago. Kaskey has received numerous U.S. General Services Administration Art in Architecture commisions in Courthouses around the country.
