Construction workers install the base of the sculpture "3 Cubes In A Seven Axis Relationship" outside of the G.G. Brown Building on North Campus of the University of Michigan on August 24, 2017.
The sculpture is a 14,000 pound, 25-foot tall kinetic structure that took Philip Stewart, Pinwheel artist, two years to design and was commissioned by the U-M College of Engineering in honor of Charles M. Vest, U-M Alumnus and former Dean of the College of Engineering U-M Provost.
“When Chuck was Dean, he had an interest in establishing a collection of artwork on
the University of Michigan’s (U-M) North Campus,” said Alice Simsar, a fine art consultant who works with the U-M. “That’s why this gift in his name is so fitting. An
official dedication of the sculpture will be planned in connection with the U-M Mechanical Engineering Department’s 150-year celebration in 2018,” she added.
