Alan Turing, Copper sculpture at Deschutes Hall, University of Oregon, US
The hammered copper sheet sculpture shows the face of Alan Turing extending from the exterior wall of the University of Oregon building.
Wayne Chabre created this high relief artwork in 1988 as part of a collection featuring influential scientists and mathematicians at the university.
The sculpture represents Alan Turing's role in the advancement of computer science through his mathematical theories and cryptography work.
The copper portrait measures three feet in height and one and a half feet in width, making it visible from multiple points around Deschutes Hall.
The Smithsonian Institution's Save Outdoor Sculpture program documented this artwork during their national survey of public installations in March 1993.
