Breezing Up

​Breezing Up stands 26 feet tall, Rubenstein's tallest wind kinetic sculpture to date, and captures the harmony between movement, form, and environment. It will be installed in Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park and Museum, Ohio, where it will enhance the Park’s collection of over 70 outdoor sculptures spread across 300 acres of rolling landscapes. The sculpture pays homage to 19th century American painter Winslow Homer’s 1876 maritime masterpiece, Breezing Up (A Fair Wind), displayed at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., subtly evoking the elegant motion of billowing sails navigating the wind. The wind-kinetic sculpture’s design reflects a seamless interplay between nature and art, making it a compelling addition to the Park’s legacy.
Currently being fabricated at Rubenstein Studios, ​B​reezing Up is crafted from stainless steel, ensuring both durability and a reflective surface that amplifies its interaction with light and wind. It offers a kinetic experience, engaging viewers as it dynamically responds to natural forces. The work embodies Rubenstein’s dedication to creating art that always fosters a dialogue with its surroundings, enriching the natural beauty of its environment.
