The piece was sculpted by artist Juan Muñoz in 1994 and 1995 and was purchased by the museum in 1995.

Juan Muñoz was a Spanish artist who became well known in the 1980's for his installation pieces which used architectural perspective to explore the theme of isolation. He died of a heart attack in 2001 at the age of 48.
