New York City artist Sarah Sze was on the campus of Western Washington University on May 8 to dedicate her newest work, “Split Stone (Northwest),” as the piece joins the university’s acclaimed Outdoor Sculpture Collection, joining important works from such artists as Richard Serra, Isamu Noguchi, Anthony Caro, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Beverly Pepper, Mark di Suvero and Do-ho Suh.
“We are incredibly proud that Sarah’s piece will become part of Western’s Outdoor Sculpture Collection and join so many other magnificent examples of public art,” said Hafthor Yngvason, the director of the Western Gallery and the Outdoor Sculpture Collection. “It will be in fine company.”
