The Rocket Sculpture is a very famous and monumental new sculpture selected to participate in the Art in Public Places program at the Boca Raton Innovation Campus (BRIC) in South Florida, a historic technological landmark of the invention of the first IBM personal computer. Standing 30 feet tall and weighing 9.8 tons, the sculpture was constructed using more than 2,200 square feet of stainless steel. It towers over the waterfront panorama of the iconic 1960s Marcel Breuer-designed building. The scale and size of this famous architectural style are astounding and endearing.
This new stainless steel sculpture of a rocket by Phipps features a Brutalist style for a powerful visual impact. Considered the intersection of art and science, this stainless steel sculpture celebrates the heroism of modern engineering. Since its completion, this modern sculpture is quickly becoming a must-see in South Florida, with its high-polish stainless steel exterior attracting many to snap photos and videos with it.
Author of the Original Sculpture:
Artist Hubert Phipps is the original author of this polished stainless steel rocket sculpture. It’s a retro-futuristic stainless steel sculpture that stands 30 feet tall and weighs nearly 10 tons. An avid pilot, Phipps frequently flew from his Virginia studio to Palm Beach, where his family were early pioneers and one of his ancestors was one of the first female pilots in the 1920s.
