Arete Blu

Davis Center
2017, Brazilian blue granite

Richard Erdman studied at the University of Vermont and gifted this piece along with two others to the University, where it now resides as a centerpiece of a plaza outside the Davis Student Center. Erdman works from studios in both Williston, Vermont, and Carrara, Italy. Known for their curves and geological influence, Erdman"Arete Blu" is unique in that it is one of only four sculptures Erdman has carved from blue granite.
