Ever wondered about the history behind the angel sculptures downtown? For an agricultural city complete with a plethora of western art, the heavenly reliefs might seem a little out of place in Cowtown.
Next month marks the 27th anniversary of the opening of Bass Performance Hall. Today, we’re breaking down the history of its iconic angel sculptures.
Remind us where we are?
Two 48-foot-tall angels adorn the East 4th Street Grand Facade of the Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall. Hewn from Texas limestone quarried near Austin, the sculptures were installed in 1998 with wings flaring toward the heavens and golden horns trumpeting over the street.
The angels were created by Márton Váró, an artist born in the Transylvania region of Romania when it was still part of Hungary. Váró was approached by the Bass family when the 2,042-seat performance hall was still in design. He elected to create custom sculptures that complemented the loftiness of David M. Schwarz’s architectural design, rather than emphasizing the city’s cattle industry.
By now, you may have noticed that I love sharing photos of my experiences both near and far. So, when I saw that there was going to be goat yoga this weekend at Martin House, I knew I had to share one of my favorite photos ever. This was taken two weeks before I moved to Fort Worth. Anyway, add goat yoga to your bucket list. It’s goat-ally worth it.
City Editor Elizabeth tried goat yoga for the first time in May of 2021.
