Contemporary Helix Sculpture by Obie Simonis

Steel rarely agrees to be this graceful about bending.

This contemporary helix sculpture in steel is by Obie Simonis, ca. 1977. Abstract metal sculpture of this kind was made to be walked around, for homes, offices and gardens, with the changing light doing part of the artist's work. Two broad curved blades sweep up and away from each other, joined near the center in a twist. Their faces have a soft brushed grey, while the edges and inner curves are polished to a mirror. Twenty-one inches wide, twenty-two deep and fifteen high.

It looks mid-thought, and has for some time.
