Clark Richert’s Quadrivium, commissioned by philanthropist Amy Harmon, is a 14’ diameter, electronically-lit, geometric structure that animates transitions between basic geometric solids (Platonic and Archimedian) harmonically, inter-related by the “golden mean.” Strategically positioned at the intersection of Glenarm Place and E. 20th Avenue, the large triacontehedron employs color, light and motion to bring unity and hope to Denver; and create a space for discussion and learning.

Historically, the Quadrivium was a medieval university curriculum involving the Mathematical Arts: Number, Geometry, Astronomy, and Music. This model treated all knowledge as interrelated in pursuit of a common goal - explaining an assumed intelligent order to existence, a perspective that seems appropriate to Richert’s piece.
