Title: Light Up!
Artist: Tony Smith (1912-1980)
Installed: 1971
Material: painted steel
Smith was an architect for twenty years before he began making sculpture in the late 1950’s. Only by walking around this sculpture can you experience how the simple form is quite deceiving; the work reconfigures as one moves. Some of Smith’s influences for his sculptures came from industrial landscapes and geometric patterns found in nature.
