Title: Untitled Modular Sculpture

Artist: Buky Schwartz

Commissioned by: Gift of Walter Nathan, Sidney Taylor and the artist

Location: 5824 S. Kimbark (Woodward Court, University of Chicago)

Medium: Aluminum

Commentary: (THIS PIECE IS NO LONGER ON DISPLAY. IT IS IN STORAGE FOLLOWING THE DESTRUCTION OF WOODWARD COURT.)

Buky Schwartz must have loved playing with Lego's when he was a boy. To make this sculpture he created large, curved pieces of square aluminum pipe and then played with them like Legos. He arranged these "legos" to go up like smoke. In another piece which is now in storage at the University, he stretched them out like a snake.
