Raymond Kaskey (born 1943) is an American sculptor and architect, best known for Portlandia and his contributions to the World War II Memorial.[1]
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he received a bachelor's degree in architecture from Carnegie Mellon University (1967)[2] and a Master of Environmental Design degree from Yale University (1969). A fellow of the American Institute of Architects, he received the Henry Hering Medal from the National Sculpture Society for Portlandia.[3][4]
Kaskey has threatened and taken legal action against unauthorized users of his work; his defense of Portlandia's copyright has been blamed for the sculpture's relative lack of prominence in popular culture and souvenirs of Portland.[5]
