Crozier rigs and installs Elmgreen & Dragset's monumental 'Eight' at the Hirshhorn
Crozier's Special Projects team unloaded, reoriented, assembled and secured 'Eight' (2026), a 28-foot, 50,000-pound steel and concrete sculpture commissioned by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC.

The sculpted and handcrafted work, in steel, stainless steel and concrete with a lacquered cyan interior, took three days and specialized rigging to unload, reorient, assemble and secure, with the Crozier and Crane Service Company teams working together. The 50,000-plus-pound sculpture will officially be on view to the public when the revitalized Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden opens on 31 October. The installation was announced in a 22 September 2026 social post from the art logistics firm.
