Public sculpture on display

The City of Saskatoon’s Public Art Advisory Committee has received a sculpture on temporary loan from local artist Douglas Bentham, and you can see it near the intersection of Idylwyld Drive and 20th Street East. The 12-metre tall stainless steel sculpture is called “Perfect World”. Bentham says it’s a tribute to Mother Nature.
“The subject matter speaks for itself: a gleaming sphere held aloft on a man-made column,” he said. Two other examples of Bentham’s work are on exhibit in the city – Unfurled at the foot of the west side of the University Bridge and Gentle Rain in Hyde Park, on loan from the Remai  Modern.
