UPANE

The contemporary sculpture, UPANE, has been crafted by New Zealand artist Steuart Welch and is constructed in COR-TEN® steel. 

Installed in May 2015, this bold and interactive sculpture is situated on the Taupo lakefront and provides the perfect vantage point for photos!

Made possible by the generosity of Alterno Foundation and Taupo District Council.
