Oeuvre de plus de quatre mètres (14pi) faite d’un alliage d’acier autopatinale qui rouille lentement. A propos de son oeuvre, l’artiste disais <>.
Le mari de l’artiste fit don de l’oeuvre à la mort de sa femme en 1979.
The column is made of a type of self-weathering, rust-limiting alloy steel. About it, the artist, Phyllis Kurtz Fine, said: My main concern is a purity of aesthetics translated into modern materials and simple forms. I am fascinated with the boundless energy of light and the infinite range of shadow.
This sculpture was donated to the Government of Canada by the artist’s husband after her death in 1979.
