HomeMy WebLinkAboutBill Swank Commission Bill Ware - Marriott Countryard Residence Inn Art Project _Q .,lTY OF PALM DESERT -MEMORANDUM- DATE: March 4, 1999 TO: Honorable Mayor and Council FROM: John Nagus, Public Art Consultant RE: MARRIOTT COURTYARD/RESIDENCE INN ART PROJECT RECOMMENDATION By Minute Motion approve the Art in Public Places Commission recommendation for developer Bill Swank to commission artist Bill Ware to create site specific artworks for the new Marriott Courtyard and Residence Inn projects. DISCUSSION The Marriott Courtyard and Residence Inn Projects are currently under construction and will be completed within the next few months. The project has generated approximately $90,000 in public art fees. The developer of the project, Bill Swank, has selected a Palm Desert artist, Bill Ware, to create three site specific artworks for the project. The two Ware projects are sculptural installations which utilize the porte cochere entry structures as a proscenium arch for each of the hotel buildings gate houses. Each installation creates a natural desert tableau utilizing images of birds, reptiles, animals and plantlife indigenous to the site. The sculpture works are being proposed as a variety of metals including bronze with certain elements crafted in aluminum, copper and brass. It is the AIPP Committee's belief that these installations were Mr. Ware's strongest work to date and recommend that Council approve these projects for the developer to begin the commission.

VILLIAM WARE Bill Ware was born in Indianapolis, Indiana,. where his artistic talent was noted by his third grade teacher, whom Bill learned when he met her twenty years later, had kept his sketches among her personal mementos. A self-taught artist, Bill attended Baylor University where he was a pre-med major. However, his first love was art and his best marks were in illustrating for Biology and Physiology. Bill's commercial art experience began in 1964 in Newport Beach, California as an art director for an art magazine, Orange County Illustrated. A job illustrating for a text book publishing company in New York City provided funds to travel to Palma de Mallorca, Spain in 1966. While in New York City, Bill did watercolors based on city street scenes. In Spain he continued painting while working as an illustrator for Spanish magazines. In Spain, Bill was inspired by the works of Miro whom he met while there. As an illustrator and cover artist for the Saturday Evening Post, Bill improved his craft while producing many fine works. As an independent artist in Indiana, Bill found success and recognition when the Indiana Convention Center commissioned him to paint a mural. This led to a commission from Indiana bell, where he produced paintings of Indiana scenes for an entire high-rise over a one year period. One of these paintings won an award and became part of a touring show of corporate art, hanging in the exhibit between Norman Rockwell and N.C. Wyeth. Though Bill's background is in painting, his desire to be involved in Art in Pubic Places, pushed him into creating sculptures and relief pieces using non-ferrous metals. This medium opened up many occasions to work with architects, city planners, and various committees' through the building process. Bill has designed, created and installed numerous two and three dimensional works for private and public settings. ? R�qA` r "-a {'41wlfWy W •r �.;rs Fo Y# k;Z!';44 t' i, 'r ?% k. $ - gy .
