Photos of "On High", a large outdoor metal sculpture in downtown New Haven, Connecticut (USA). This sculpture was created by Alexander Liberman in 1979. It is located just a short walk from the city green, between Church Street and Orange Street.
Liberman is known for large scale sculptures. He has works on display at New York's Museum of Modern Art and London's Tate Gallery, amongst other places.
The photo below, with people in the background, lends a sense of scale to the sculpture, which stands 44 feet tall.
Liberman intended the sculpture to evoke the same sense of awe and wonderment that he himself experienced when he went to Saint Peter's Cathedral in Rome.
