Lodgepole

Lodgepole is a red T-shaped steel sculpture positioned on a patio within the Lynden Sculpture Garden. The work displays a clean geometric form that stands out distinctly against the surrounding vegetation and natural landscape.

The sculpture was created in 1968 and incorporated into the Lynden Sculpture Garden collection, which was established in 1927. This work exemplifies the minimalist art movement that emerged in the postwar era and represents one of many modern outdoor pieces assembled at this location.

The sculpture represents the minimalist movement of the 1960s, joining over 50 monumental works spread across the garden's 40-acre landscape.

You can view this sculpture during the garden's regular hours, and parking is available on the grounds. The piece is best appreciated in natural daylight when the bright red color stands out most effectively.

The sculpture's precise geometric form and bright red color create strong contrasts against the garden's natural elements and changing seasonal backgrounds.
