PAUL FLANAGAN FOR THE VINEYARDS AT PALM DESERT DEVELOPMENT SUBMITTED BY: RICHARD L. TWEDT APPLICANT: SINATRA AND COOK PROJECT, LLC 828 N. OGDEN DRIVE LOS ANGELES, CA 90046 DATE: DECEMBER 11, 2008 CONTENTS: 1. DEVELOPER APPLICATION 2. PROJECT PROPOSAL AND BUDGET Recommendation: By Minute Motion, 1) Consideration to approve Dr. Paul Flanagan's design as the public art component for the Vineyards at Palm Desert Development located at 36-700 College Street, Palm Desert, California 92211; 2) consideration of future reimbursement in the amount of $74,152.26, as part of the Art in Public Places art component fee for this project. Funds are available in Account No. 436-0000- 312-2700. Executive Summary: At its meeting of October 29, 2008, the Art in Public Places Commission unanimously approved the design proposal, "Family of the Coachella Valley" by Dr. Paul Flanagan, as the art component for the Vineyards at Palm Desert Development. The artwork consists of a family of figures carved of Persian travertine, approximately 5' tall by 30" diameter, which will be placed on a 3' tall by 4 - 5' diameter base, faced with stacked rock. The artwork will be located in front of the Community Clubhouse that is open and available to the public. The Art in Public Places Commission endorsed the placement of the artwork in front of the Community Clubhouse because of the human scale. They thought people would be able to experience the artwork closer, rather than from a moving vehicle. Discussion: "The Vineyards at Palm Desert", was so named in recognition of the contribution of seedless grapes to the agriculture and economy of the Coachella Valley. "Family of the Coachella Valley" is homage to the farmers, workers, and to the productive earth of the Valley. A graduate of Harvard University, Dr. Flanagan has a life-long interest in history, which led him to a fascination with stone sculpture. After collecting works of contemporary artists, he began exploring the process of sculpting with stone. He has studied at the University of California, Irvine Campus and at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, California. He attended the Marble Symposium in Marble, Colorado and worked with Jacqueline Spellens for seven years in Fountain Valley, California. His works can be viewed in many different collections in the United States from Cody, Wyoming to Newport Beach, California.

He works in marble, limestone and alabaster to create real and fancied persons, abstract forms and imaginary creatures.
