been selected to execute a sculpture for the area in front of University Libri!ry on the West Michigan Street Campus.

Consisting of three identical 55-foot-high pieces of stainless steel, the sculpture will be designed on the theme of the 3-4-5 (Pythagorean) triangle. The sculpture

should be completed in 1980.

The project is being funded jointly by IUPUI and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) under the program called "Works of Art in Public Places." Total cost of the project will be between $120,000 and $150,000 with funding from contributions from friends of the university and NEA.

The project proposal was started in 1975 by Phyllis I. Danielson, then secretary of the IuPUI Faculty Council and now president of the Kendall School of Design at Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The sculptor was selected by a panel appointed jointly by the NEA and IUPUI.

Representing the university were Dean Arthur Weber of the herron School of Art;

Diane Lazarus, assistant curator of the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and Edward L.

Barnes, master plan architect for the IUPUI campus and architect of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.

Von Schlegell, a native of St. Louis, studied at the University of Michigan and the Art Students' League in New York. His early interest in painting developed into a concern for sculpture, and since 1961 he has devoted full time to that art form.

He now teaches the master's class in sculpture at the Yale art school.

In 1969 he was commissioned by Storm King Art Center to make environmental works for their permanent collection and since then has had works commissioned across the country, including India Wharf, Boston; Miami Lakes, Florida, and Duluth State Park in Minnesota.
