"Marton Varo's imposing angels emerge dramatically from the facade of Bass Hall to herald the performing arts. Approximately forty-eight feet tall, the angels are several times larger than life. The carving and installation of such large high-relief sculptures was a daunting artistic and technical challenge. Varo carved three sets of smaller angels in preparation for work on the actual sculptures.
Limestone for the works was quarried near Austin, Texas, and transported to Irvine, California, where Varo carved the works in large numbered blocks. The delicate carving of the wings was done in Fort Worth."--BOOK JACKET.
"Informal photographs by Varo and others record the creation of the angels from quarrying of the limestone through the initial carving of the blocks. Rodger Mallison of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram recorded the installation process almost daily. The result, featured in Angels on High, is a photographic chronicle of a major artistic project."--BOOK JACKET.
