A Perfect Accompaniment
Artist Eva LeWitt's installation graces the Shepherd School of Music's Alice Pratt Brown Hall.
Winter 2025
An unexpected, colorful installation by artist Eva LeWitt hangs in the Shepherd School’s Alice Pratt Brown Hall. In her work, LeWitt alters commonly found manufactured materials, manipulating their color, texture and scale to create individual shapes. Here, LeWitt introduces a vibrant visual rhythm into the architectural grandeur of the hall with a large-scale assembly of concentric mesh strips hung vertically at varying lengths, creating dynamic forms of rising and falling color that evoke the movements of a symphony.
“Her installation brings color, shape and movement into the space, beautifully amplifying the experience of this hall,” says Frauke Josenhans, curator at the Moody. The piece is the newest addition to the Moody’s Platform series, which invites artists to respond to artworks, architectural structures and research at Rice. Platform: Eva LeWitt is a reminder of the Moody’s commitment to making art accessible in unexpected spaces. The installation will be in place through Dec. 26, 2025.
