The Stanford Public Art committee hosted a farewell celebration for the iconic statue, nicknamed "The Churro" by students, at Meyer Green on Thursday. The snake-like statue will be replaced with a new installation next fall.
A tree capable of growing 40 varieties of stone fruits, such as peaches and plums, is located near the Rodin Sculpture Garden. Visitors are invited to pluck the fruits as they ripen in the coming months. The tree is an art installation created by Sam Van Aken.
The new public artwork installation by award-winning American sculptor and environmental artist Beverly Pepper is an iteration of an installation in Italy created specifically for the Stanford campus.
