FIELD GUIDE
The story
Octo 2 is a wind-driven sculpture by Anthony Howe, listed among the public artworks of downtown Greenville, South Carolina. Visit Greenville credits the piece to Howe in its public art highlights. A 2018 Greenville Living Today walking-tour guide describes it as an 18-foot-high stainless steel sculpture that moves with the wind, and notes that Howe also designed the cauldrons for the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics. Discover South Carolina describes it as comprised of linked shapes rotating around a circular axis and gives its location as E. McBee Avenue near S. Spring Street.
Greenville promotes a large public art collection: Visit Greenville says over 160 pieces are displayed in the city's streets and parks, and the City of Greenville offers an interactive map of its Public Art Walking Tour.
