MACY'S COURT
Facing the interior entrance to Macy's is a unique structural sculpture. Six 24-foot anodized aluminum tubes at various angles form an open grouping which appears suspended in space. The six-inch diameter tubes are secured by stainless steel cables, forming a study in tension that measures 24 fet at the widest point, with an overall height of 35 feet.
The sculptor, Kenneth Snelson, studies with Buckminster Fuller at Black Mountain College, with Josef Albers at the Chicago Institute of Design (now part of Illinois Institute of Technology), and with Fernand Leger at the Academe Monmartre in Paris.
Technology and engineering play a major role in Snelson's works, which can be found in the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art, and Whitney Museum of American Art, both in New York City, in museums in Sweden and the Netherlands, and in private collections.
SEARS COURT
Dominating the Sears Court, Robert Engman's sculpture of graceful, curved stainless steel soars to a height of 24 feet. Two polished arcs, weighing about 3,500 pounds, are held in tension by stainless steel aircraft cable.
The artist was co-chairman of the department of Fine Arts in the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Fine Arts. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the Rhode Island school of Design, and his Master of Arts degree from Yale University. Engman also has been a visiting critic and lecturer at the schools of architecture of Princeton, University of Texas, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Engman's works have been exhibited widely and can be seen in the major public collectons, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, and the Yale University Art Gallery.
JC PENNEY COURT
Woodfield's JC Penney Court features a many-faceted sculpture created by Robinson Fredenthal. Constructed of baked enamel steel plated towering 24 feet above the mall floor, the six-foot square sculpture provides varying illusions from each viewing angle.
Educated at the University of Pennsylvania, where he received both a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Bachelor of Architecture degree, Fredenthal has been encouraged in his work by famed sculptor Robert Engman.
MOVADO/ARMANI EXCHANGE COURT
The fourth structure, located in the Movado/Armani Exchange Court, was created by artist Ernest Trova. Trova was born in St. Louis and his father was an industrial designer, an influence that played a significant role in his art.
He has become one of the most sought-after sculptors of the 20th century and his Profile Canto #IV was created with cold-rolled steel. Trova began his career as a figurative painter, but soon moved to three-dimensional constructions and then the medium of sculpture.
