Siena Heights University has acquired a monumental work by internationally celebrated sculptor Jedd Novatt and will have a special dedication ceremony at 2 p.m. April 18 on the Adrian campus.

The 18-foot stainless steel sculpture entitled “Chaos Getaria,” was completed by Novatt in 2014 at his studio in the Basque region of Spain. Novatt lives in Paris, France, and graduated from Sarah Lawrence College. His work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world, and is part of numerous private and public international collections.

Novatt’s work has also been included in five of the highly prestigious exhibitions with Sotheby’s at Chatsworth House in the United Kingdom – the annual exhibition of monumental work by the world’s leading sculptors.

The artist is scheduled to attend the installation, which will occur between the Verheyden Performing Arts Center and Studio Angelico on campus. A special base is being constructed for the piece, and will include customized landscaping and lighting.

The Siena community is invited to attend the dedication ceremony and the reception immediately following in the McLaughlin University Center.
