Six Sculptures for Barney Allis Plaza

Vision

Michael Herold’s sculptures are designed to transform Barney Allis Plaza into an interactive and inspiring public space. These six large-scale, geometric metal sculptures will invite visitors to explore, engage, and connect with the art in a way that reflects the vibrancy of Kansas City.

Concept & Design

Each sculpture in this series will contribute to a cohesive artistic experience, balancing bold abstract forms with dynamic compositions. The designs embrace movement, reflection, and play, ensuring a visually striking presence that evolves throughout the day with shifting light and perspectives.

Fabrication & Execution

To bring this vision to life, Herold collaborates with a team of experienced fabricators skilled in large-scale metalwork. This team has successfully executed monumental projects for major corporations and public installations, ensuring the highest standards of quality, durability, and safety. By leveraging their expertise, these sculptures will be fabricated with precision and engineered to withstand the elements while maintaining their aesthetic impact.

Impact & Legacy

This project aligns with the revitalization of Barney Allis Plaza, enhancing the space with artwork that sparks joy, curiosity, and engagement. The sculptures will not only be visually compelling but also serve as lasting icons of Kansas City’s rich artistic and cultural identity.
