California is a vibrant hub of historical, cultural, and contemporary art, attracting collectors, prominent figures, and private curators from around the world. In the heart of South Lake Tahoe, the Marcus Ashley Gallery is a premier destination to view and acquire fine art. Among its most captivating displays is the gallery’s extensive collection of Lyman Whitaker wind sculptures—renowned works of kinetic garden art celebrated for their movement, balance, and craftsmanship.
One standout creation is Whitaker’s Meridian, a stunning interpretation of the geographical prime meridian—the line at 0° longitude that divides the earth into eastern and western hemispheres. Much like the equator’s balance between north and south, this sculpture achieves perfect harmony through its design. Twisted metal arches curve over and under a spinning central element, with the lower half mirroring the upper in an inverted reflection. As the sculpture turns, its copper and blue metallic forms align to create fleeting semi-circles, forming a cohesive visual rhythm that changes with every breeze.
Perfect for gardens, patios, and open landscapes, Meridian is an outdoor kinetic wind sculpture that adds a refined yet organic focal point to any space. The warm copper tones paired with cool patina blues evoke both earth and sky, making it an art piece that connects deeply with nature.
Every Lyman Whitaker sculpture is handcrafted in the artist’s Utah studio using durable metals and weather-resistant finishes, ensuring decades of beauty in any climate. Each piece ships directly from the artist through Marcus Ashley Gallery, complete with the hardware needed for easy installation.
