Item Description

Sather Gate is a prominent landmark separating Sproul Plaza from the bridge over Strawberry Creek, leading to the center of the University of California, Berkeley campus.

The gate was donated by Jane K. Sather, a benefactor of the university, in memory of her late husband Peder Sather, a trustee of the College of California, which would later become the University of California. Designed by John Galen Howard, Sather Gate was completed in 1910. Atop the gate are eight panels of bas-relief figures representing the disciplines of agriculture, architecture, art, and electricity which were sculpted by Professor Earl Cummins.

Originally, the gate served as the terminus of Telegraph Avenue, and marked the University's south entrance. The circle in front of the gate served as a turning point for the trolleys coming from Oakland. The University later expanded further south of Strawberry Creek, and the gate is now well separated from Berkeley's city streets by Sproul Plaza.

This beautiful Sather Gate Watercolor Print artfully represents the rich history of Sather Gate. Bid now to win this amazing piece of Cal artwork and display it proudly in your home or office. Don't delay, bid today!
