Waves inspire public art work for Palm Beach County Convention Centre

Date uploaded: September 3, 2009

Wave, a dynamic light and time based perceptual work of art, by internationally recognized sculptor Barbara Grygutis, was commissioned for the Palm Beach County Convention Center, by the Palm Beach County Art in Public Places Program. This fully integrated environmental sculpture is an experiential, place-making work of public art, creating a distinct identity for the building.

Towering high above human scale, this work of art is fully integrated with the existing structure. The sculptural forms, while appearing open and delicate, were engineered by to withstand 150 MPH hurricane force winds.
