Rising Star, 2004, Robert Kantor (American)
Welded metal
Donated by Robert Kantor in 2006
Robert Kantor’s Rising Star serves to symbolize the University as a “rising star” in the academic world. Kantor specializes in compelling mobiles and stabiles painted with bright, primary colors to reflect his own positive outlook on life. The work weighs 3,000 lbs., and, unfortunately, the sculpture’s colors are currently beginning to fade from constant exposure to the sun.
