Reflections of a Summer Day is an outdoor 1974 painted steel sculpture by Duane Loppnow,[1][2] installed near the entrance to the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, Oregon, in the United States.[3] The sculpture was given to the University of Oregon by the sculptor, a graduate of the university.[1]

The abstract (geometric) sculpture measures approximately 6.5 feet (2.0 m) x 4 feet (1.2 m) x 4 feet (1.2 m) and rests on a base that measures approximately 1.5 feet (0.46 m) x 1 foot (0.30 m) x 2 feet (0.61 m). Its condition was deemed "treatment needed" when the Smithsonian Institution surveyed the work as part of its "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1994.[3]
