''Three Bronze Discs'' is a piece of public artwork by American artist James Wines located in the courtyard of the Golda Meir Library, near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. Made of bronze, the sculpture is three circular bronze discs located in a pool of water. It is 10 feet by 8 feet and 5 feet in diameter. ==Historical information==
''Three Bronze Discs'' was created for the then new Golda Meir Library at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. It is set in a sunken brick courtyard outside the library. The building's architectural plan called for a sculpture, planter, and benches in the courtyard. Wines designed and molded ''Three Bronze Discs'' in plaster and the work was cast in bronze in Rome. According to Diane Buck, author of ''Outdoor Sculpture in Milwaukee,'' "The elements of the sculpture and its site represent one of the few local successful collaborations between artist and architect."〔Buck, Diane M.,Palmer, Virginia A. (1995). ''Outdoor Sculpture in Milwaukee: A Cultural and Historical Guidebook'', p. 137. Wisconsin Historical Society.〕 According to Kenneth Bendiner, chair of the art history department at UW-Milwaukee, "The sculpture mixes and matches suggestions of the organic and the mechanical, the human and the human-made. It is a work not likely to incite the animosity of coming generations. One of the reasons for the rise of 'abstract' monuments in the 1960s is their ability to avoid controversial social issues. At a time of racial strife, civil unrest, anti-war protest, etc., committees can avoid the problems of representing specific people or specific events or specific statements by erecting monuments with indefinite reference."〔UWM Department of Art History. ("From the Chair" ), Spring 2008. Retrieved on 2010-12-17.〕
