Jasper's Split Star is a striking aluminum sculpture featuring an intricate network of intersecting, curved tubes combined with a reflective sculptural base. Measuring approximately 6.6 meters wide, 5.9 meters deep, and 5.6 meters high, the artwork brings together contrasting surfaces and forms in a complex, layered composition.
The sculpture's title references Stella's 1962 painting Jasper's Dilemma, inspired by fellow artist Jasper Johns. Previously exhibited at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Connecticut, Jasper's Split Star was installed at Silverstein Family Park at 7 World Trade Center in New York in November 2021.
CIG contributed to the realization of the sculpture through engineering, material procurement, tube forming, fabrication, and pre-assembly. Our team developed the additional six-pointed aluminum structure and its connections to the existing sculpture, including production drawings and assembly templates. The complete artwork was assembled at our facility for inspection and approval by Frank Stella, with the aluminum components receiving a sandblasted finish.
