Torso Fragment

Eskenazi Hall houses Indiana University’s Herron School of Art and Design and is located at 735 W. New York Street in Indianapolis.

"[1] Eskridge's creation of Torso Fragment was clearly influenced by the classical sculpture developed during the 5th century BC in Ancient Greece and the exaggerated contrapposto form.

"[1] Departing from this reference to classical sculpture, Torso Fragment is hollow and aluminum, reminding a viewer of its modern origins.

Featured artists included Herron School of Art and Design faculty Katrin Asbury, Greg Hull, and Eric Nordgulen.

Funds from the Cultural Development Commission, Ruth Lilly, IU New Frontiers Grant Program, and the IUPUI Campus Arts Committee supported the exhibition.

This image is an excellent educational example of the S Curve art form in modern and classical sculpture.
