Detail, Vendome
Firefighters Memorial
Working with Magic Valley Arts Council, Millennium Artist Ted Clausen
created two sculptural works that reflected local residents' ideas
about Twin Falls' history and significant events. Clausen's best-known
work, Vendome Memorial, is an example of how the artist knits oral
histories into his sculptural works. Commemorating the 1992 death
of nine Boston firefighters, Vendome incorporates a bronze replica
of a firefighter's helmet and coat draped across a stone wall inscribed
with quotes from firefighters and brief descriptions of some of
the events of that fatal fire. Above, Vendome Memorial. All rights
