Large-scale, site-specific sculpture piece by Richard Serra. It is fabricated out of Cor-Ten steel which develops a natural patina like a Rothko painting. The piece is an excellent example of parallax, meaning that the perspective shifts as an optical illusion depending on where it is viewed.

Since it's impossible to move, the piece is officially on extended loan from the artist.
