Notes

'Spray (1956) was produced using fine stainless steel rods which were tightly gathered at their base and expertly welded by Bertoia. These rods being thin and lightweight are then allowed to open up, with the help of gravity, the further they emerge away from their welded core. The rods are so fine and delicate that the work also doubles up as a kinetic sculpture, moving at the slightest touch or air-movement. A decade later in the mid-sixties Bertoia would make larger and more complex versions of these early experiments in form and space.'
