Model for Crescendo - Wheeling, West Virginia - Abstract Public Sculptures on Waymarking.com

A free-form piece of bent and tapered stainless steel, with burnishing marks. The form is a loop of metal with rounded edge down and two sides not touching. One end of the piece is pointed straight up; the other points horizontally to the Northwest. The metal piece is mounted to a black marble base, which is on a concrete plinth. The plinth is surrounded by a circle of wood chips.

This is a model for a sculpture commissioned and owned by the Christiania Life Insurance Corporation, Tarrytown, New York. The model was a gift from Mr. Lloyd C. Briggs, then president of the CLIC, to his friend Father Al Jolson, then president of Wheeling Jesuit College.
