The Ouabache Sculpture is a public artwork located in Lafayette, Tippecanoe County in the US state of Indiana. Located on a grassy plot between adjacent lanes of the Harrison Street Bridge and lying just east of the Wabash River,[1] the sculpture is kinetic and will move by being pushed by the wind.[2] The sculpture is the largest work of public art in Lafayette and is described as "an early example of the modern era" of art.[3] Details of the Ouabache Sculpture are listed in the Art Inventories Catalog[4] published by the Smithsonian American Art Museum.[5][6]
