About
This sculpture is from Trova’s GOX series of monumental geometric forms made from circles, squares and rectangles that have an Aztec ortotemic sense to them. The GOX sculptures, unlike Trova’s other series, are designed to be seen from the front, rather than as an all-around sculpture. The title GOX is made up from letters in the words “geometric exercises.” These graphic sculptures are all made of stainless steel that is rubbed to a beautifully smooth, satin-like finish.

Artist Bio: 1927-2009
Ernest Tino Trova, a self-trained St. Louis native, became one of the significant artists of the late twentieth century. Trova has always insisted on consistency of content in his work, along with persistency of application and personal addiction for getting work done. He considered his entire output a single “work in progress.” Trova’s gift of forty of his works led to the opening of the Laumeier Sculpture Park. As one of the most prolific and imaginative sculptors of our time, Ernest Trova continues to create many more outstanding works of art and venture into hitherto unexplored areas.
