The Hedgehog and the Fox is a late Minimalist sculpture of Richard Serra, installed between Peyton and Fine halls and the football stadium at Princeton University in 2000.
[3] An earlier example is the larger but structurally similar Snake (1996) at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao[4] and the Double Torqued Ellipse of 1997.
Harold Foster, a professor in Princeton's art and archaeology department, has further commented upon it that "There are those who follow one principle in all they do — the hedgehogs — and those who look to different approaches at the same time — the foxes.
Serra further emphasised his thinking in the interview he gave before delivering a lecture on his work at Princeton as Belknap Visitor in the Humanities in 2001.
The fluid sinuosity of their movement adapts itself to the curves of the football stadium in the background, so as to create a visual continuum.
His reading of the line by Archilochus therefore reverses the moral order of the original fable of The Hedgehog and the Fox.
