This metal sculpture was made by a student at the Chicago Institute of Design student in the 1960s.
Curatorial Statement
The Chicago Institute of Design was founded by Lazlo Moholy-Nagy in 1937 on the model of the German Bauhaus school of "total design" which incorporated art, design and photography into the "master art" of architecture. Experimentation with a variety of woods, metals, and plastics helped students create sleek, modern designs with new technology, as exemplified by this woven metal sculpture. The original Chicago Institute of Design became part of the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1949.
