Harlan - Jacksonville, FL - Abstract Public Sculptures on Waymarking.com

The sculpture consists of five colorful abstract shapes attached to one another in a tripod-like formation. The colors of the five pieces are mint green, salmon, white, burgundy, and yellow. The three legs of the "tripod" are the mint green piece, the salmon piece, and the combination white/burgundy piece. The yellow piece is attached to the top of the three "legs" and forms an arch at the top of the sculpture. According to an inscription on the mint green piece, the sculpture was commissioned by Sherlon Investments Corp., Inc., N.V.

"This colorful piece is more than an eye-catching abstract. Rosburg created the sculpture in tribute to his mother's hometown of Harlan, Iowa. Previously located in front of the 550 Water St. building, the sculpture has welcomed MOCA visitors and intrigued passersby since 2008."
