Coe Library is thrilled to install a new work from artist James Surls and pleased to host him for a talk and reception on Saturday October 24th. This event is free and open to the public. From the University of Wyoming Art Museum:

Nationally known, Colorado-based artist James Surls will present an Art Talk on Saturday, October 24 at 1 pm at Coe Library. His Art Talk will be followed by a reception to celebrate the installation of his new piece, Rolling Flower, in Coe Library. Surls created the piece specifically for the new library wing. With the installation of his metal and wood sculpture, the focus on public and community continues in Laramie.

And from Time Magazine: “Surls sculpture is infused, at the start, with a real sense of fright: the noonday demon lurking in the woodpile.”

Join us in welcoming James Surls and in viewing Rolling Flower in its new home at Coe Library. See the work below:
