"The Way" by Alexander Liberman due to it large dominating size is often viewed as the signature sculpture in Laumeier Sculpture Park.
"The Way alludes to a classical ruin, yet it elements are storage tanks welded end-to-end. These materials in a structure of noble lineage acknowledge history while asserting the validity of contemporary imagery. The portal is a passage into new perceptions." ~ plaque describing sculpture
The sculpture measures 65' x 102' x 100'. Due to its location in the middle of a field and its large size it is visible in all the satellite imagery sites.
