Red Pipe Blue Dot Sculpture by Bret Price
Red Pipe Blue Dot was created in 1999 by sculptor Bret Price. The metal sculpture is 8’6” high and 4’6” wide, weighing approximately 600 lbs. The sculpture has been in the collection of Geoff and Candace Daigle and was shipped to Bret Price’s new studio/gallery in New Bremen, Ohio in 2023. Red Pipe Blue Dot was completely prepped and repainted in an Imron high grade polyurethane paint – a paint used on private jets.

Installation
The piece can be lifted by the supplied 1/2” lifting ring atop the sculpture with a small crane or a large fork lift. Red Pipe has a steel mounting pin at the bottom of the sculpture. A 1.5” wide by 4” deep hole will need to be drilled into a secure concrete base to accept the matched metal receiver supplied. The receiver will need to be leveled and set with epoxy and allowed to harden. The sculpture pin is then greased with white lithium grease and the sculpture pin lowered into the receiver, allowing it to be rotated to the optimum position.
