Approval to Waive Public Soli citation and One-Time So le Source Contract Jade
Patinas for a Restoration of a Custom Finish for a Bronze Sculpture tit led Birth of
Love
The City owns a public artwork titled Birth of Love by Michael Pavlovsky ("Artist") permanently
insta ll ed at th e Fort Worth Botanic Garden located at 3200 Botanic Garden Boulevard. Arts Fort
Worth manages the City's Fort Worth Public Art (FWPA) program through City Secretary
Contract(' CSC") Number 56448 and maintains the collection as part of the agreement.
The bronze sculp ture features keyhole disc with high bas re lief imagery mounted on a columnar-
shaped base and installed on a short, raised stone pedestal. The c ustomized "aerugo" or verdigris
patina is on both the disk and base (see attached 2007 appraisal report). A patina is a finish created
by oxidation or chemica l process and often provides a protective coating to materials that would
otherwise be damaged by corrosion or weathering.
Ln 20 I 7, the sculpture was hit by a motor vehicle and the base significantly damaged. The
sculpture was removed and u ltimately, the base was replaced . The patination work produced
during the repair, though approved by the artist has recently failed and is not sa lvageable. The
existing finish must be removed and replaced to achieve the original overall aesthetic.
The City's contracted conservator does not have access to this proprietary patina . At the
recommendation of the artist (attached) and to maintain the authenticity and value of the artwork,
staff is requesting to enter into a one-time sole source agreement with local art patineur, Jade
Patinas, to provide the custom patina work to the sculpture.
The Fort Worth Public Art Collection Management Fund has funding available to pay for this
treatment. We ask that you please grant this request.

Subject : Repatinat ion of Bronze Sculptu r e
In 2001 a sculpture I created titled ''The Birth of Love" was donated to the City of Fort Worth by
the Moncrief Endowment . It is permanently sited in the Botanic Garden . In 2017 the base of
the scu l pture was repaired after being hit and damaged by a motor veh icle. The base was
replaced by Schaefer Art Bronze, and the pati na was replicated . However, after the warranty
was exp ired in 2020, the surface began t o noti ceably change . I have conferred with Fort Worth
Pub lic Art staff on how to proceed .
Th is work of art has needed a new pati na for qu ite some time . I am writi ng th is letter to highly
recommend Mr. J.D Flynn of Jade Pat i nas to recreate the surface pati na on this sculpture. I
recommend Mr. Flynn for the followi ng reasons :
1./ This type of patina, known as a Verd igris patina , is a d ifficult patina to create, and requires a
highly skilled , knowledgeable, and experienced patineur to achieve a successful application .
2./ I have worked w ith Mr. Flynn for over eighteen years . I have hi red hi m to create patinas for
all my scu l ptures exclusively for the past five years . His skill , knowledge, and capab il ity for
prov id ing proprietary and highly custom finishes is well known . He has created patinas for me
on large mun icipa l, and inst itutional commissions, as well as projects commissioned by private
cl ients . Most recently, Mr. Flynn has created a wonderfu l patina for a pub lic art project that I
completed for the City of Dallas. Additionally, he has done patina work for quite a few smaller
bronzes made for commercial gallery cons ignment. He also has numerous sculptors and other
cl ients that he does work for around the country.
To retain the aesthetic integrity and value of th is artwork, I highly recommend Mr. Flynn who
has the patience and skilled ability to take on the un ique challenge assoc iated with this proj ect.
