Sky Fence is a public art work by artist Linda Howard located at the Lynden Sculpture Garden near Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[1] The brushed aluminum sculpture has upright louvered elements; it is installed on the lawn.[2] Howard erected the sculpture at Lynden in the fall of 1977.[3] Of Sky Fence, Howard said, "The eye is forced up to the sky. It reaffirms the ground and transcends in the direction of the sky."[3]
