Located in front of the Uihlein Administration Building on the Eisenhower Medical Center campus is an abstract sculpture that is painted black. There is a small plaque at the base of the sculpture that reads: This sculpture is located just off Hwy 111 and has a small plaque near the base that reads:

FLETCHER BENTON
American, born 1931
STEEL WATERCOLOR #32. 1985
painted steel

On loan from David Kaplan
and Glen Ostergaard

There is another abstract sculpture by the same artist that looks much like this one located at the Palm Springs Art Museum in nearby Palm Desert as part of a sculpture garden and can be visited here. This sculpture of welded steel represents a balancing act of geometric shapes and circles and the wavy line complements the balancing act by reaching into the sky, creating a visual balance in height and width.
