Artist's Description
The beautiful, iconic granite sculpture of the Temple mascot, a red owl, by Beniamino Bufano stood in the Alumni Circle, at Temple University, Philadelphia at the southeast corner of Berks Mall and Liacouras Walk for just under 30 years.
This 3,000 lb flecked Italian red-marble statue suddenly and quietly disappeared in 2017 at the time the new library was being constructed and has been replaced by a hideously violent looking owl instead. What has become of Bufano's icon? I simply do not know - it would be nice to see it somewhere else on campus, but the administration is keeping characteristically tight lipped about it...
... update Sep 2019 - this wonderful owl is back again in the Alumni Circle, fairly close to its original positioning.
About Richard Reeve
I am a visual story teller based in southern Pennsylvania, USA and my imagery is inspired from everyday objects and situations I encounter through my travels. My work has been exhibited and sold at the Bradford Avenue Galleries (Allinson Gallery and Huston Gallery) at Chester County Art Association, in addition to this online store. My images have also been exhibited at Panorama XXL, Rouen, France and the Cincinnati Museum Center, Cincinnati, USA. I hope you will find something that inspires you, amuses you, makes you think, smile, frown, or perhaps just scratch your head. Go on, dive in... and for those of you who do so, I offer a big thank you for looking through my window on the world! ~Richard ReevePhotos Inspiring...

Thank you Meg, I thought this was beautiful and to find another sculpture from Benny Bufano, who had his works in the Hillsdale Shopping center, San Mateo where we used to regularly shop, is a truly weird link...
