Art Sculptures on Penn Campus

Riding my bike through Penn Campus, I saw some very nice public work of art.


Pan with Sun Dial by Beatrice Fenton

“Ben on the Bench” sculpture by George Lundeen at 37th Street and Locust Walk was a gift from the Class of 1962 and was presented to the University for the class’ 25th reunion in 1987. The piece shows Franklin reading The Pennsylvania Gazette, one of his own publications.
Covenant
Alexander Liberman, 1974

Love Sculpture by Robert Indiana

Installed in 1998, Robert Indiana’s “LOVE” statue, on Locust Walk near 36th Street, was a gift from Jeffrey and Sivia Loria. It is one of several variations of the sculpture created by Indiana between 1966 and 1998. Another one resides in Center City’s LOVE Park (or JFK Plaza)

Enjoy the journey...ADP
