Arch, Steel sculpture in Lynden Sculpture Garden, Milwaukee, United States.
Arch is an abstract steel sculpture in Lynden Sculpture Garden composed of four bars arranged in a trapezoidal form. The work sits among trees and landscaped grounds where its geometric shape reveals new perspectives as you move around it.
Ernest Carl Shaw created this steel sculpture in 1976 as the garden expanded its collection of contemporary outdoor artworks. The piece emerged during a period when such collections gained importance through modern abstract works.
The Arch sculpture stands within a 40-acre garden that displays over 50 monumental sculptures, collected by Margaret Bradley between 1962 and 1978.
You can find the sculpture within the garden among planted areas and it is accessible from various paths. It helps to explore the surroundings slowly to enjoy all viewing angles of the work.
The construction features a rust-colored surface that changes with light and season. This natural transformation of the material makes the sculpture appear more living within the garden setting.
