Richard Deutsch has several sculptures around San Francisco. This piece has it’s own video on Richard’s website, and I highly recommend that you go and view it. The film is a work of art unto itself, and I could not do justice to the process that you are shown, but I will try to summarize the intent of the piece.
He mentions that they wanted to use a light colored metal for the reflective properties and to interact with the glass. The area that the sculpture is in is called Foundry Square. The owner, Peter Donahue, opened the foundry in 1851. Crucibles, a vital part of metal pouring, were the shapes that inspired Deutsch. He was further inspired by music and was setting a tempo for a musical composition, attempting some sort of lyrical movement.
Wow… those look impossibly stacked, resisting gravity!
I loove this Piece!!
I dunno! They’re very attractive shapes, but they remind me of those pads some women put in their bras to ah, enhance things a bit.
Well so I’ve been told. 🙂
Have you seen the museum at Bilbao. This piece reminds me of it. It is the balance and things hanging off of other things at an angle.
