Sculpture of a man's head Abu by Miguel Horn

'Head' to Abington to view acclaimed artist's outdoor sculpture

Penn State Abington is the second home for Abu, an 8-foot sculpture that explores what it means to be human and to experience a family member who is ill or aging. It was torn apart by a freak storm when it was initially installed in the river at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia.
