Uptown Triangles, Metal sculpture in Downtown Milwaukee, United States
Uptown Triangles is an aluminum sculpture in the Uptown Crossing district of Milwaukee composed of seven triangular forms that intersect two vertical pillars. The geometric composition creates visual movement and visual interest at this prominent street corner location.
The sculpture was commissioned from Chicago-based artist John Adduci in 2007 and installed in 2009 during the revitalization of the Uptown Crossing district. It arrived as part of broader community efforts to transform this neighborhood through public art.
The sculpture has become a focal point in the Uptown Crossing Business District, showing how art integrates into everyday urban spaces. Visitors notice how such installations shape the character and identity of their neighborhood.
The sculpture is located at the intersection of North 48th Street and West Lisbon Avenue near multiple public transportation lines and is accessible year-round. Visitors can view it anytime without worrying about schedule restrictions or seasonal closures.
The structure was transported in two separate pieces and assembled on site before being secured with large bolts to a concrete foundation. This on-site assembly allowed the large-scale work to be positioned at this busy street corner location.
