Dimitri Hadzi

Dimitri Hadzi (1921–2006) created sculpture in bronze, stone, and ceramics, drawing on classical Greek subjects and modernist forms. After an extended period in Rome, he taught at Harvard from 1975 to 1989. MIT identifies his bronze Elmo-MIT (1963) as its first outdoor sculpture, a work that connects helmet-like forms with architecture and themes of power. His public commissions also include Thermopylae at Boston’s John F. Kennedy Federal Building, the basalt arch River Legend (1976) in Portland, and the granite sculpture-fountain Propylaea (1982) in Toledo. GSA documents River Legend as five joined sections of native stone and records its 2013 relocation within the federal-building site. These works are examples of Hadzi’s historical practice; their documented locations do not establish availability for new placement.
