Floating Sculpture No. 3

Floating Sculpture No. 3 is a geometric red form made of polyester that stands within the Lynden Sculpture Garden. The work creates bold contrast against the green and earthy tones of the surrounding landscape and vegetation.

The work was created in 1972 by French-Hungarian artist Márta Pán. It joined the collection during the period when Margaret Bradley was building her museum of outdoor modern art.

The piece sits within a collection that presents artworks among trees and meadows, showing how contemporary forms integrate into natural surroundings. Visitors experience the connection between modern sculpture and landscape in direct, tangible ways.

The location is accessible throughout the year, though during winter months the piece is moved indoors at the garden. Visitors should expect weather-dependent visibility and changing positions of displayed works.

The red polyester material has a special quality: its color and shine shift depending on the time of day and how sunlight strikes it. This means the sculpture reveals different facets of its surface as light conditions change throughout your visit.
