Synopsis

Since 1961, Robert Laurent’s Birth of Venus fountain has been the centerpiece of Showalter Plaza, the artistic core of Indiana University’s Bloomington campus. It’s a celebratory, modernist take on a classical subject that brings to mind Paul Manship’s Prometheus at New York’s Rockefeller Center skating rink.
