Lake Superior Stele is a relief sculpture created by Wenzhi Zhang, a notable Chinese artist and educator. Consisting of 120 individual stoneware tiles attached to a steel framework, Lake Superior Stele spans two stories of the Academic and Student Services Building on the campus of Lake Superior College in Duluth, Minnesota. The piece was officially unveiled in March 2008.
The mural combines representations of the region's iconic architecture, culture, industrial heritage and landscapes into an intricately detailed montage on a grand scale.
The project was funded by the Minnesota Percent for Art Program through the Minnesota State Arts Board. The program funds the acquisition of art to be displayed in state buildings that are accessible to the public.
