Untitled by Edward Brownlee
Located: Mall Level 2, Center Court
Dedicated: 1966
Description: Wrought from bronze and steel, this piece was originally designed not for visual effect but for tactical purpose and was placed in a sandbox meant for exploration. It was intended to be appreciated not just with the eyes, but felt as well.
About the Artist: Brownlee is known for his modernist architectural creations.
