The piece and base were shipped to Illinois by UPS, in a wooden crate. I wasn't allowed to help install it because of union rules, but I flew in to watch. 
 

Everything went together just as planned.  It was a good thing I was there, for we realized at the last moment that I hadn't signed the thing.  The physical plant people came up with a Dremel engraver, and I lay down and set my John Hancock on the base.
 

The green side of the piece faces a café.
 

And the red side faces the entrance atrium
 

Pierre Wiltzius, Director of the Institute, appeared pleased.

As we say in California, stoke!

To recap, this project was funded by Bruce Wonnacott through Submeta, an organization of good faith and great generosity.  It was executed by Steve Reinmuth of Reinmuth Bronze Studio, whose skills with mathematical sculpture are without peer.

The Beckman Institute has a very significant permanent collection of mathematical art, including works by Brent Collins and Helaman Ferguson.  It's a place in the tradition of Fermilab: a great center of science that is fully alive to aesthetic and humanist ideals.  I'm both proud and humbled to have my work represented there.
