A major new outdoor sculpture unveiled on Oct 3rd 2014 as part of a major refurbishment project at the University of Leeds, and acquired into the university's permanent collection. Tate Britain Director Penelope Curtis revealed the monumental new work – Sign for Art (Stelae 2014) at an unveiling in the newly-opened Beech Grove Plaza, at the heart of the university campus. The 5.1 metre (16ft 8ins) sculpture is made of Keith Wilson’s signature black polyurethane elastomer, which gives its surface a dramatic, rippled effect.
