South Tower

The South Tower stands in the same place Don Gummer’s work, Reunion, had occupied since the opening celebration for Eskenazi Hall in 2005. Don Gummer, who is an alumnus to Herron made this abstract, frosted aluminum rectangular sculpture after his experience with watching the attacks on the World Trade Center. In response to this tragedy, the artist chose to use a rectangular shape with a vertically-louvered design that comes apart toward the top to depict the World Trade Center’s south tower during the event of the attacks.
