A popular Detroit landmark towers above Jefferson Avenue—it is a large broken circle over Hart Plaza, titled "Transcending." This giant arch sculpture is also known as the Michigan Labor Legacy Landmark. Located west of the entrance to Hart Plaza near the intersection of Woodward Avenue and Jefferson Avenue, it was dedicated to the labor movement on August 30, 2003. According to Detroit 1701, in 2000, the Michigan Labor History Society formed a non-profit to create a landmark for the labor movement, to which many labor organizations contributed. David Barr, an artist from Livonia, designed the 63 foot steel arcs, while Sergio de Guisti, an Italian artist from Redford, designed the base of the monument. The monument was dedicated in August, 2003. Two steel arcs (which weigh 30 tons) almost form a circle in the landmark, but there’s a break at the top. This represents the work that still needs to be done in the movement. Around the circle are 14 Vermont granite boulders, each six feet tall. Also at the base of the monument are plaques with quotes that speak to the labor movement throughout the years. Anderson Design Group’s award-winning poster artists rendered a travel poster of downtown Detroit. Available as a retro print, canvas, banner, metal sign, poster, notecard, or postcard, this artwork would make the perfect gift, souvenir, or centerpiece.
