SAMA completes Round Ziggurat Fountain Plaza

San Antonio Museum of Art is pleased to announce the completion of Round Ziggurat Fountain Plaza, a commissioned work by the world-renowned sculptor Jesús Moroles.

In keeping with the architectural traditions of plazas in Latin American culture, the sculptural fountain is centrally located in the Museum’s Luby Courtyard. Constructed of Texas pink granite, the fountain blends elements of a circle and a stepped pyramid, with water housed in basins at the four corners and flowing through cavities that crisscross at the structure’s center.

Moroles has installed over 2,000 works across the globe. His art is represented in public and private collections in China , Egypt , France , Italy , Japan, Switzerland, and the U.S. Moroles’s sculptures have been included in over 300 museum and gallery exhibitions worldwide.

The dedication ceremony will be held on Sunday, January 13th @ 3 p.m. in the Luby Courtyard of the San Antonio Museum of Art. The acquisition and installation of this work was made possible by the generous support of the Lillie and Roy Cullen Endowment Fund and Ann S. Bowers.
