Other Lee Kelly Retrospective Exhibitions The Portland Art Museum's current Lee Kelly, organized by PAM Chief Curator Bruce Guenther, is the most recent major survey of Lee Kelly's work. The Art Gym at Marylhurst College has organized two: Lee Kelly: 35 Years of Painting and Sculpture in 1994 and Lee Kelly at Marylhurst, a survey of large outdoor sculptures in 1983. Both exhibitions included essays by Marylhurst professor Paul Sutinen.

And, in the late 1970s, both Reed College and the City of Boise, Idaho presented major exhibitions of Lee Kelly's outdoor sculpture.

Snow Day The grounds at Leland Iron Works are home to, at any given time, between a dozen and two dozen major sculptures by Lee Kelly. There's not often much snow, but it has a wonderful effect on the works, as seen in these photographs by Lucy Stirling from the winter of 2006/2007. A Book of Gardens In 1987, Lee Kelly created this small artist's book of notes and sketches on his experiences of gardens as seen in his extensive travels, particularly in Southeast Asia. These reflections are transformed into plans for works, many of which were subsequently realized. Leland Iron Works 1973 Lee Kelly and his then-wife, artist Bonnie Bronson, moved their home, family and studios from Portland to Oregon City in 1963. The property, a former dairy farm, was to prove, despite the amount of work involved in its renovation, an idyllic setting for their life and work. Northwest photographer Mary Randlett documented what became known as Leland Iron Works in 1973 - here is a selection of those images. Candlestick Park, San Francisco 1972 The commission for the monumental Gate F to San Francisco's Candlestick Park was Lee Kelly's largest work at that time, and helped to establish his reputation as one of the West Coast's premiere sculptors. Here is a brief photo essay on the installation of this huge work. Lee Kelly: Selected Poems Howard's Way: 2007 Dedication Ceremony Howard's Way is a suite of large sculptures commissioned by the Housing Authority of Portland for their development project in downtown Portland, The Civic/The Morrison. "Howard's Way," the common plaza joining the two buildings, and the suite of sculptures, is named for Howard Shapiro, former chair of the Housing Authority, and a long-time civic leader and art patron. Howard's Way was dedicated in October, 2007.
