Halegua has been a significant presence in the art community of Washington, D.C., where he was a professor of sculpture at American University. His geometric abstraction has been a decades-long focus, working in materials such as steel, Cor-ten steel, and pioneering the use of plastics in sculpture. A prominent example of his art in the nation's capital is the impressive 25-foot tall Cor-ten steel sculpture, America, created in 1970, which is on view in the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden. Halegua's career has included major public art commissions across the United States, cementing his reputation for creating large-scale works that combine the sensibilities of sculpture, architecture, and urban design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"response-footer contains-extensions-response is-mobile gap complete\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"response-container-footer ng-tns-c4286474142-364\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"actions-container-v2 ng-tns-c163426211-367 mobile\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.oldtownfineart.com\/collections\/alfredo-halegua.oembed","provider":"Old Town Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
