Anthony Caro: Crisscross Flats, 1974 - in memorium

News came out today of Sir Anthony Caro's death on October 23. In memorium, I'm blipping the sculpture we have here at York University. It's on Campus Walk on one of the busiest paths. I did blip it before from a higher angle.

Here is an Alexander Calder we have here. More YorkU-sited sculptures/art. All blips tagged "sculpture" at this link.

The accompanying plaque reads (actual capitalization, punctuation, and line breaks thus, but aligned to centre on plaque):
