Angel of the West, Steel sculpture at Scripps Research Institute in Jupiter, USA.

Angel of the West is a stainless steel sculpture on the Scripps Research Institute campus in Jupiter, measuring approximately 3.7 meters (12 feet) in both height and width. The work displays geometric patterns arranged to suggest the silhouette of an angel with clean, precise lines.

The sculpture was created in 2008 by German artist Julian Voss-Andreae, drawing inspiration from the earlier Angel of the North artwork in Britain. It was commissioned for the campus to bridge art and science at the location.

The title answers Antony Gormley's Angel of the North, and the ring around the antibody follows Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, whose proportions match those of the antibody. The antibody structure itself was published by the biophysicist Eduardo Padlan for the Scripps Research Institute's Florida campus.

The sculpture stands outdoors on the Scripps Research Institute campus in Jupiter, Florida, at coordinates 26.88522, -80.11224. The ring rests on a flat rectangular metal base plate, and a small inscribed plaque is mounted on a low concrete plinth directly in front of it, so the text can be read at close range. The polished steel reflects daylight, making the letter-like clusters easier to pick out in bright conditions.

The antibody structure Voss-Andreae used was published by the biophysicist Eduardo Padlan; the ring around it follows Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, pointing to the similar proportions of an antibody and the human body. The piece answers Antony Gormley's Angel of the North of 1998.
