Forms Carried Aloft, No. 2, 1960. Richard Hunt (American, b. 1935). Brazed and welded steel; overall: 128.2 cm (50 1/2 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Contemporary Collection of The Cleveland Museum of Art 1962.52 © Richard Hunt A master of welded and cast metal sculpture, Hunt creates abstract works that often reference nature. Describing this early example, the artist said, "I wanted to give an impression of forms being lifted and projected upward by the rod rising from the base, which I think of as a kind of energized line, partly a stem and in part a trajectory." Hunt has completed more public sculptures than any other artist in the United States.
