Stephanie and Spy, is a public artwork by United States artist Robert Graham, located on the University of California, Los Angeles campus in the Rolfe Hall Courtyard, in Los Angeles, California, United States. The sculpture depicts a nude woman standing next to a horse. Each figure stands on its own pedestal positioned about 2 ft from each other.
Description edit
The sculpture is made in cast bronze and depicts two figures: one is Stephanie, a nude female, and the other is Spy, a horse. Each figure stands on its own pedestal and the pedestals are placed next to each other so the figures stand side by side, about two feet apart. Spy stands to the proper right of Stephanie. Both figures are looking forward. Spy's feet stand straight and parallel to each other, except for the proper left hoof which is placed slightly back from the plane of the proper right foot. Stephanie stands straight with her arms at her sides slightly lifted away from her hips. The front of each of the pedestals are aligned despite the difference in the length of the sculpture and pedestal between the two figures.
The sculpture measurements are as follows: Stephanie (female) 61 1/2 x 7 1/2 x 11 1/2 in. (156.2 x 19.1 x 29.2 cm) and Spy (horse) 71 1/4 x 13 3/4 x 55 in. (181 x 34.9 x 139.7 cm).
