The Fourth Sign, Steel sculpture at University of Hawaii at Manoa, United States.

The Fourth Sign consists of nine straight black steel sections joined end to end, forming a broken circle with three sections resting on the ground.

In 1976, artist Tony Smith commissioned Mamoru Sato to supervise the fabrication of The Fourth Sign by Hawaii Welding Company for 65,000 dollars.

The National Endowment for the Arts Visual Arts Program supported this public artwork with a grant of 20,000 dollars for its creation.

Located on the lawn outside the Art Building, the sculpture represents Cancer, the fourth zodiac sign, through its crab-like structure.

Students at the University of Hawaii integrated the sculpture into campus life by physically interacting with it, as observed by John Charlot in 1978.

Location: Honolulu County

Inception: 1977
