Focus on Black Titan and explain the Background.
Before the piece was installed at the Indianapolis Art Center, it was exhibited at shows in New York, followed by Indiana Black Expo in 1985 and The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. Artist John Spaulding originally wanted the sculpture to depict a 16-foot-tall boxer. However, the proposed piece was too expensive, so he created a bust of a boxer, instead. The sculpture took one year to create.
