Marx Distinguished Lecture on April 18, 2018. Plensa is a renowned contemporary artist working in the public realm and his art is driven by a desire to emphasize the possibilities of communication brought about through sculpture and place. His sculpture in Penn’s Art Collection, Endless III, 2010 is composed of interwoven letters and symbols that capture the light and create a metaphorical language that connects all people. Through this annual lecture series Susan T. Marx (CW’66) and the Arthur Ross Gallery seek to inspire Penn students across disciplines to develop an interest in or a passion for art and to attract a regional and national audience. Funding for the Susan T. Marx Distinguished Lecture Series is provided by a gift to the University of Pennsylvania from Susan T. Marx to fund the lecture series.
