When Hall Office Park opened, it became one of the first local developments to
integrate sculpture into a long-range master plan, one of the reasons it was named
"Best New Office Development of 2000" by The Dallas Business Journal.
Today, Hall Office Park is a must-see location highlighted in Texas Highways,
Where Dallas and a host of other publications. The privately funded array
of sculpture is viewed by experts as a "cultural portfolio."
By merely strolling along Hall Office Park’s grounds, visitors can follow a
pathway to dozens of bronze sculptures, including those from Australian Andrew
Rogers. Most of Rogers' works are in large-scale bronze, featuring striking
poses with vibrant names like "Evolving," "Growing," "Spirit" and "Balance."
Other pieces featured in Hall Office Park’s international display highlight
a variety of whimsical art, including the most popular sheep display officially
titled "Moutons" by France's Francois Lalannes. Visitors will find South Africa's
Domenic Benhura’s "Children's Playing" pieces near the Gateway National Bank
entryway. The park showcases other works, including "Right Angles" by New York’s
Gunnar Theel; "Brent’s Arch," by Harry Gordon from New Jersey and "Vacancy"
by Illinois’ Ed Shay. Tour guides are available during regular business hours
from the receptionist at 6801 Gaylord Parkway or can be printed for a self-guided
walking tour of the International Art Collection.
"Art is good for the soul; it nurtures the spirit and inspires the
imagination. For much of my life, I have appreciated art from all around the
world. I am fortunate to have brought together a diverse array of sculpture and
making pieces available to the public has always been a personal
priority."
