These two sculptures are skaters in profile and they are located in Union Terrace park, southeast of the pond. Artist Filippo Bermani created these from cutout steel and the sculptures sit directly on the ground. The skater leans forward with a leg extended backward and an arm upraised. Philip and Muriel Berman donated these to the City of Allentown in 1986.
