Topiary Lucere, Illuminated sculpture in downtown Milwaukee, US
The sculpture features six low concrete forms resembling chess pieces set between square evergreen shrubs on both sides of a central plaza point.
Artist Steve Feren created Topiary Lucere in 2001, incorporating concrete, glass, and optical fiber elements to establish a modern public art installation.
The sculpture forms part of Milwaukee's outdoor art collection, integrating architectural elements with natural forms through geometric shapes and symmetrical patterns.
Located near the intersection of Plankinton and Wisconsin Avenues at a Marriott Hotel, the sculpture changes colors through LED illumination after dark.
The central obelisk contains a textured glass ornament illuminated from within, while ground lights create distinct visual effects on the concrete structure.
