Thunderbird

1951–1952

A modern abstract metal sculpture mounted on a tall, slender pedestal. The sculpture features geometric shapes and forms that appear to be dynamically arranged, with a rusted texture, giving it an industrial look. The background is a plain, light-colored wall on a grey floor.
