Polyphony is a public artwork by Austrian artist Egon Weiner[1] located on the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee campus, which is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States.
Long poles and large triangles are intertwined in a maze-like piece coming from a central area in the base.
Weiner ultimately created Polyphony to symbolize the rhythm and motion of a conductor’s baton as he directed his orchestra.
[2] When the Fine Arts- Music building was completed in 1962 on the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee campus, sculptor Egon Weiner spent the summer session there as artist-in-residence.
After the construction was finished Polyphony was moved to a grassy knoll at the corner of East Kenwood Boulevard and North Maryland Avenue, next to the Student Union; before returning to the Arts Center Complex in 2023.
