Dave Regier’s Floating Sphere has now been installed in the West Lobby of Block. It’s the only work I’ll put in that room, since sometimes understatement is far more intriguing than the adverse. It’s up against a wall of babinga.

This sculpture is composed of roughly 5000 pieces of stainless steel, each an inch long, each welded in place one-by-one. Back-breaking work. Yeah Dave’s a little crazy, but then most sculptors are. The result is breathtaking just the same.
