Description and history

L. R. Setziol's Ode to a Tree (1977) is an Alaskan yellow cedar sculpture installed in the Forest Science Laboratory's courtyard on Jefferson Street, on the Oregon State University campus. The abstract, "tree-like" form measures 20 feet (6.1 m) x 12 feet (3.7 m), 7 inches (18 cm) x 16 feet (4.9 m), 2 inches (5.1 cm). The bottom of one side of the sculpture features a bicycle parking rack. The installation includes a plaque with the inscription, ROBERT M.

The sculpture was surveyed and deemed "treatment needed" by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in April 1993. It is part of the Percent for Art Collection and administered by Oregon State University.[1][2]
