Passing under the tower from the Court of Abundance one comes out in the
little north court that is conceived in the same spirit, and which
likewise is dominated by the Mullgardt tower. The architecture here is
like an echo of that of the main court, the decorated spaces alternating
with bare spaces. The tower sculptures are all repeated on this side.
The only sculpture within the north court is Sherry Fry's
personification of Aquatic Life. The statue is of a heavy sort that
should be anywhere but in this place of ethereal mood and exquisite
detailed workmanship. Blot out the background and you can see that the
figure has a certain solid grace. But if designed for this court it
fails of its decorative purpose.
