Steel and Plexiglass with Light
We are pleased to present the latest piece in Fruin’s largest series of ICON works:
The “You Will Clap Watertower” (2024) is the 10th piece in Tom Fruin’s wide-ranging series of full scale water tower sculptures permanently installed in California, Louisiana, Nebraska, Wisconsin, New York and Japan. These works re-imagine commonplace urban structures into colorful kaleidoscopic beacons. This piece for Kings Theatre 95th anniversary takes its design inspiration from wristbands you might get while attending concerts at the venue.
