Former Mitchell Center Artists-in Residence, the Art Guys present the newest addition to the University of Houston Public Art Collection. The Statue of Four Lies analyzes the vestiges found in the foundations that testify to its original former arrangement and is a monument to aesthetical inexactitudes in the form of various kinds of fruits rendered in bronze.

The Statue of Four Lies

Location: North side of the new Cougar Village, adjacent to Lynn Eusan Park near the intersection of Wheeler and Calhoun. Parking at the Welcome Center Garage, corner of Calhoun and University Dr.
