Smoke Sculpture

By artist Tony Smith. Smoke was made in 1967 and fabricated in 2005. Acording to the museum, it is one of the largest sculptures by Tony Smith. It reflects his lifelong exploration of patterns found in organic life and is composed of close-packed hexagons supported by a triad of columns with tetrahedral capitals. I chose this artwork because, it was the first piece of artwork that captured my attention when entering the museum. I thought it was unique to see such a colossal sculpture actually reflect something like the artist that made it Tony Smith.
