Referee, Marble sculpture at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena, US.
The Referee sculpture stands 9 feet tall, depicting an abstracted figure with spread legs and raised arms in a white laminated travertine marble composition.
Created in 1978 through the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, the sculpture utilized marble pieces donated by Milwaukee Marble Company from First Wisconsin Bank construction.
The sculpture reflects the connection between sports and art at the arena, which hosts basketball, hockey, and soccer events throughout the year.
Located at the south entrance of UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena, the sculpture marks a primary access point for visitors attending sporting events and concerts.
Thomas Queoff transformed leftover construction materials into this permanent installation, demonstrating resourceful artistry during a period of limited funding for public art.
