On the Campus: Oval With Points

Henry Moore’s Oval With Points, one of the University’s most recognizable sculptures, was installed on campus nearly 49 years ago as part of the John B. Putnam Jr. Memorial Collection. A few months after its arrival, John M. Fenton wrote in PAW that Princetonians had grown fond of sitting in its contoured opening: “[A]lready the green patina has been worn off in some spots and the bronze beneath shines through goldenly.”
