DescriptionLike the frozen motion of lights looping through space, Midmien illuminates this spot on the grassy lawn bordering the Community Arts Auditorium and provides a visual link between the arts and music disciplines which share its view. Sasson Soffer, an Iraqi-born New York artist, was a protégé of Mark Rothko. Soffer is known for his large-scale, sleek geometric constructions.Collections
