Idyll

Paul Mount, 1922-2009, British
1995
Stainless steel

This piece is quite literally a beacon of reflection. The polished surface reflects light and images from its surroundings, and is therefore always changing, yet always the same. Mount's sculpture is clearly influenced by the structure of Baroque counterpoint. "I like form for its own sake," he once remarked, "whether it's in sculpture, design, music, architecture or painting."

Gift of Alfred Harrison and Ingrid Lenz Harrison, 2017.

Located in the Harrison Sculpture Garden.
