USA, 1960s copper 17 w x 16 d x 17½ h in (43 x 41 x 44 cm)
A spherical form by Bertoia in patinated bronze.
In this sculpture, the rods radiating from a central core have globules on their outer ends which compose the outer surface of the sculpture. Bertoia was fascinated by the possibility of creating a sculpted surface that was composed of individual points, rather than planes. As a result, the forms are infused with elements of the conceptual, relating the piece to mathematical concepts of infinity.
