Piece description from the artist
The Pegasus sign has long been embraced by Dallas residents as a defining element of their city.
Comprised of two identical fabricated panels, the 1934 sign was mounted on a 50-foot-tall (15 meter) oil derrick that rotated atop the Magnolia Building, which opened in 1922 as the city’s first skyscraper and for a time was tallest structure west of the Mississippi River.
There are now two big Pegasus signs in Dallas. Since the original one was taken down in 1999, a replacement has sat atop the old skyscraper, now called the Magnolia Hotel.
