Three Tubes




Israel Hadani
Israeli, b. 1941
Three Tubes
stainless steel over structural steel, 1979
Gift of Philip and Muriel Berman

Three Tubes presents a visual puzzle. Three disconnected cylinders are aligned in a column as if by magic. But if your eyes trace the path of the shapes from bottom to top, you'll discover that it really doesn't defy gravity. Israel Hadani sheathed its rugged, structural steel frame with a stainless steel skin.

Gift of Philip and Muriel Berman
