Description of View	General view of the Rincon Center atrium with the 'Rain Column'
Notes	Located in the atrium of the Rincon Center, San Francisco, CA. Sponsor/Developer: Perini Land and Development Company. Project Description: The sounds of falling water initially attract the visitor to this artwork, located in an interior courtyard. The fountain consists of water falling into a shallow catchment pond from beneath a 60-foot-high atrium. This artwork is about the sounds and view of falling water. It can be seen best when the sun shines in through the skylight and reflects off the falling water. Potted plants circling the catchment basin were added by the developer, so that people would not unwittingly walk beneath the falling water. The fountain runs on an intermittent schedule. Project History: The artist was contacted by Tamara Thomas of Fine Arts Services to do this commission for Perini Land and Development Company. [Note: the information on the artist's website and the information supplied by the vendor Art On File differ on the height of the fountain. Art On File gives the height as 60 feet. The artist's website says it is 97 feet high. See Douglas Hollis website, project 'Rain Column' http://www.douglashollis.com/ ]
