See Two Running Violet V Forms, UC San Diego, California
Robert Irwin contribution to the Stuart Collection, Two Running Violet V Forms (his first significant installation in California) Irwin was drawn to the eucalyptus groves so characteristic of the campus. The contradiction inherent in this manmade forest appealed to him; the geometric regularity of the grid of trees is balanced by the infinite variety of light and detail that the natural setting nevertheless provides. Irwin installed two fencelike structures in V-forms amidst the trees. The "fences" are blue-violet, plastic-coated, small gauge chain-link fencing supported by stainless steel poles that average twenty-five feet in height. The structure maintains a constant elevation as the hillside terrain drops gently beneath it. A sprinkling of purple flowering ice plant, echoing but not matching the color of the chain link, is planted under the fence.
