by James Lee Byars

The Golden Tower by the late artist James Lee Byars has been erected in the Campo San Vio, Venice, on the edge of the Grand Canal. Byars envisioned The Golden Tower as a colossal beacon and Oracle that would bridge heaven and earth and unify humanity – a contemporary monument surpassing the grandeur of the Lighthouse of Alexandria. Towering to a height of over 20 meters, The Golden Tower is the artist’s largest and most ambitious work. The Venice installation of The Golden Tower is the first to fully realize the artist’s intentions of presenting the sculpture in a public space.
