An interesting sculptural pillar consisting of four decorated ceramic barrels was installed near Olmsted Hall at UC Riverside (900 University Ave, Riverside) in 2020. The installation, entitled, Stages for Flowers, is the work of Los Angeles-based artist Bari Ziperstein (@bariziperstein). As described in an Inside UCR News article, "Ziperstein designed a hand-carved and painted ceramic sculpture with images and patterns inspired by Russian textiles. The white, blue, and orange sculpture is made up of four pieces, each weighing 100 pounds, which was welded to a steel pole in a small lawn area next to Olmsted Hall." As described on Ziperstein's website, the work also features "boldly colorful floral patterns as well as scenes of protest and symbols of unity".
