Welcome to the journey.

Three Rules of Thumb for Collectors

After helping more than 20,000 collectors choose their wind sculptures, we've found these three principles matter most. The rest of this guide simply builds on them.

1. Choose the Sculpture You Love

Choose the sculpture you love. Size, placement, and style all matter, but the sculpture you fall in love with today is the one you'll still enjoy decades from now.

2. Place It Where You'll Enjoy It Most

Place your wind sculpture in one of the most beautiful parts of your property. Its movement will naturally draw your eye and raise your awareness of the beauty around it.

3. The Best Care Is Very Little Care

After helping more than 20,000 collectors, we've learned that the best way to care for your wind sculpture is not to over-care for it. Avoid using solvents such as WD-40.

01 | The Art of Movement

Where artistry, engineering, and nature come together.

For more than four decades, LYMAN WHITAKER has created sculptures that celebrate movement, balance, and the quiet beauty of nature. Inspired by organic forms and thoughtfully engineered to respond to even the gentlest breeze, his work can be found in botanical gardens, museums, resorts, public spaces, and private collections around the world.

Designed to Move

Every sculpture is thoughtfully balanced to respond naturally in winds as light as 2–3 mph, creating graceful movement throughout the day.

02 | The Perfect Place

Finding the place where your landscape comes to life.

The best place to begin isn't by choosing a sculpture; it's by choosing the place where you want to enjoy it most.

Think about the places that matter most in your landscape. Is it the view from your kitchen window, the path that welcomes guests, a favorite patio, or a quiet garden retreat?

03 | Inspired Choices

Exploring styles, sizes, and designs to find the sculpture that's right for your landscape.

Consider the Style

Every LYMAN WHITAKER sculpture has its own personality. Some create bold movement, while others offer a quieter, more understated presence.

Think About Scale

Consider how far away the sculpture will be viewed, the surrounding landscaping, and the overall scale of your home.

Envision Your Landscape

Our custom visualization service allows you to compare sculptures, sizes, and placement using photographs of your own property.

04 | Bringing It Home

What to expect from order to installation.

Once you've found the LYMAN WHITAKER sculpture that's right for your landscape, our team will guide you through each step—from placing your order to the day your sculpture arrives.

05 | Preparing Its New Home

Preparing for the day your sculpture arrives.

Installation

Many collectors install their sculpture with the help of a family member or friend. We recommend two people for installation.

Prefer professional installation? A landscape contractor, gardener, or lawn care professional can also complete the installation.
