Donald Wilson's Holon was originally commissioned in 1978–1979 and dedicated to the late Dr. Gordon Hearn, the first dean of Portland State University's School of Social Work.[1][2] Its name comes from the Greek holos, which means "whole, entire, complete in all its parts – something that has integrity and identity at the same time as it is a part of a larger system".[2][3] The sculpture was carved from white Indiana Limestone. It measured approximately Шаблон:Convert x Шаблон:Convert x Шаблон:Convert and rested on a brick base that measured around Шаблон:Convert x Шаблон:Convert x Шаблон:Convert.[2] When the Smithsonian Institution surveyed the sculpture for its "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in April 1993, the organization categorized the piece as abstract, its condition as "treatment needed", and noted that Wilson had removed graffiti previously.[2]
