An exceptional sculpture by Ursula von Rydingsvard was recently
commissioned to highlight the entrance to the new Andlinger Center for Energy
and the Environment at Princeton University. The nineteen-foot-tall untitled
work is von Rydingsvard’s first sculpture made primarily of copper. This video
provides a sneak peek of a documentary that will debut in May 2016 about the
making of this phenomenal new addition to Princeton University’s campus.
Princeton University boasts one of the most significant public
art collections in the United States. A campus art initiative, launched in 2008
to expand the collection with work by living artists, is currently undertaking
numerous commissions and loans. This most recent addition to Princeton’s
outdoor sculpture collection was installed in November 2015 and will be
dedicated in spring 2016 with the new building, designed by architects Tod
Williams, Princeton class of 1965, and Billie Tsien.
