amylsacks' photos with the keyword: sculpture

Same author and publisher as previous photo. "Elmwood, H. 103 (261.5) Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, N.Y., USA Photo the artist" Many more versions and lots more history at The Tate .

From A Concise History Of Modern Sculpture by Herbert Read, 1964, Published by Frederick A. Praeger, Inc. "Bronze. H. 64 1/2 " (163.5) Collection W. J. Keswick, Glenkiln, Scotland Photo the artist" Sorry for the distortion at left. This is a thick, heavy book. Not easy to press flat on the scanner. But I really wanted this photo online, because it's an unusual view. There's something special about seeing what the sculptor himself wanted us to see when he arranged a picture. The Tate's website has lots more to see and learn for anyone who's interested.

"The FRUCHTSAEULE (a pillar of fruit, symbol of a bountiful harvest) was designed by Mr. G.M. Ortiz of Lake Oswego, Oregon. The pillar stands 20 feet high and 4 ft. square at the base. It is decorated with one ton of fruits and vegetables." My brain doesn't really know how to respond to this. [sigh] Anyway, it could've been, uh... presented anytime between 1966 and 1972.
