Sit Here!
(Installed and restored at Goldwell in 2007)

An accomplished painter and public artist, Siegmann left Europe and moved to the Bay Area. “Growing up in Switzerland meant living in a small country. I sought adventure and moved to spacious California. The sunlight, the lightheartedness of people driving everywhere in cars, and no rain for six months straight has changed how I think and feel. I see colors and apply them onto the canvas: luminous, translucent and thick astar.” Siegmann was an artist-in-residence at the Lied Discovery Children’s Museum in Las Vegas in 2000. 

Goldwell Board of Directors members Denise D’uarte, Jeanne Voltura, Charles Morgan, Christine Nottage, and Suzanne Hackett-Morgan contributed to the redesign and restoration of the piece. Another restoration is in the planning for 2012.
