Trio, Aluminum sculpture at Lynden Sculpture Garden, Milwaukee, US
Trio is an aluminum sculpture at Lynden Sculpture Garden composed of geometric forms crafted entirely from this lightweight metal. The work stands in the open grounds of the garden and is visible from all angles.
The sculpture was installed in 1972 as the Lynden Sculpture Garden collection expanded rapidly under Peg Bradley's leadership. This period marked a time when the venue focused on building its contemporary art presence.
The work demonstrates how industrial materials like aluminum can serve as art. It reflects the sculptural approach that American artists explored during the 1970s.
Visitors can view and explore the sculpture throughout the year during garden hours in all seasons. Guided tours are available to learn more about this and other works on the grounds.
Sunlight bounces and reflects across the aluminum surface in changing ways as the day progresses. The smooth finish captures shifting light conditions, making the sculpture appear different depending on the time of day you visit.
