“A Van Sant wall mural portraying wild geese picks up the rust cast of the reddish wood and blends with the umber-colored tones of travertine and golden light coming from a nearby window...
...As one enters the front Plaza from Washington Boulevard...Lines of perspective close toward infinity broken only by sharp angles until the attention focuses on a pool with boulders carefully placed as if at random...on which bronze seagulls rest. Some contemplating their own reflections, others winging upward. [See Gulls.]
The seagulls, theme of Prudential Federal’s Main Office in Salt Lake City, were sculpted specially by California artist, Tom Van Sant, creator of the originals.” [1]
