This abstract by Pavia is located on the beautiful grounds of the Philbrook Museum. The gardens behind the museum are absolutely gorgeous, and filled with landscaping and sculptures, with a large fountain and waterfall through the center.
Untitled is bronze, almost 4 ft. high. The bottom half is a large misshapen, twisted, partly hallowed out base. The top is in the shape of a stick, forming out of the top of the base. The entire piece is on a concrete foundation.
