From a press release:

“When National Harbor opened 16 years ago, developer Milt Peterson was committed to making art accessible. He wanted the destination to have a collection that was engaging to visitors of all ages. Therefore, when the late founder and chairman of Peterson Companies, developer of National Harbor was alerted that J. Seward John’s “The Awakening” was placed up for sale, he seized the opportunity to purchase. The 5-piece, 72-foot cast aluminum sculpture depicts a distressed giant emerging from the earth and currently sits in the sand on the waterfront at National Harbor (153 National Plaza).

After being in Metro Washington D.C., Peterson wanted to keep the beloved piece local and purchased it for $740,000. In February 2008, months before National Harbor’s opening, “The Awakening” was moved from Hains Point to National Harbor. (more…)
