Back in the 1980s, Rice University considered commissioning a large-scale work from American sculptor Mark di Suvero. Instead, it chose earth artist Michael Heiser, whose three-part sculpture "45, 90, 180" now graces the university's engineering quad. Thirty years later, Rice finally has a di Suvero, and it has been installed behind Herzstein Hall, right off the main quad, only a stone's throw from the Heiser sculpture.
