The sculpture is actually a double set of freestanding arches with two short, concrete, serpentine-shaped walls beneath them that can be used for seating. The arches are approximately 12 feet high by 7.5 feet wide by 8.5 feet long.
The Smithsonian Art Inventories Catalog (
visit link) describes the sculpture as follows:
"Two pairs of concrete columns, each pair supporting an arch of wood covered in sheet copper. Together the components form a simple freestanding portico or archway. Low, small concrete walls near the base of the columns serve as benches."
