Leonardo Drew

Credit as documented: Leonardo Drew

Number 381 brought Leonardo Drew's exploration of abstraction into a permanent outdoor setting at Miami University. The bronze sculpture occupies a plaza between Young and Hillcrest Halls on the Western campus in Oxford, Ohio. University news documents its dedication on May 2, 2024 and identifies alumnus Tom Smith as the donor. The university describes it as Drew's first bronze sculpture intended for permanent outdoor public art, following temporary outdoor projects in New York and Hartford.

Materials and construction

Urban Art Projects in New York fabricated the sculpture. The university also credits art advisor Heidi McWilliams in the project's development. Its photo copyright reads 2023, but that credit alone does not establish a date of fabrication; this record uses the documented dedication year.
