Fifty-four Columns, a public art project designed by renowned artist Sol LeWitt, is comprised of 54 concrete pillars ranging in height from 10 to 20 feet and arranged in a triangular layout approximately 112 x 176 feet. The minimalist sculpture, like much of LeWitt’s work, integrates art and architecture. The piece makes reference to its urban environment through repeated lines and geometric forms. With their varying heights, the pillars echo the city’s skyline that is visible on the site’s western horizon.
