Inscription.
Ernest Trova's Abstract Variation series reflects his interest in the precarious balance of chaos and order. The artworks in this series vary in scale, from modest to monumental, and were made of either COR-TEN or painted steel. Abstract Variation Lozenger No. 3, 1980, made of stainless steel, illustrates the effect of elements resting against one another as it implies immanent collapse.

Ernest Trova's gift of 40 artworks to St. Louis County in 1976 brought Laumeier Sculpture Park to life. Many of these works are displayed throughout the Park and the region, keeping Trova's legacy alive both at Laumeier and in the St. Louis community.
