Simone Leigh at University of Pennsylvania


  • University of Pennsylvania 3451 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA (map)

A monumental sculpture by acclaimed artist Simone Leigh has been installed at the corner of 34th and Walnut Streets, the gateway to College Green at the University of Pennsylvania. Penn’s edition was a gift from New York City alumni couple Glenn and Amanda Fuhrman.

It is the first large-scale piece in the artist’s Anatomy of Architecture series that merges human form with diverse architectural elements. Cast in bronze, the work stands 16 feet high, 9 feet in diameter at its base, and weighs 5,900 pounds.
