Michio Ihara, 1989
stainless steel and gold-plated stainless steel
Born in Paris and raised in Japan, Ihara graduated from Tokyo University of Fine Art in 1953.
Ihara created this 22-foot high kinetic sculpture for an exhibition at the Art Complex Museum in 1989.
The curved vane, an important element in Ihara’s work, complements that architecture of the museum.

Happy Father's Day!
This print by sculptor and printmaker William Zorach (American, 1887-1966) was created in 1918 and is part of the Art Complex Museum's permanent collection. In this image, the father figure reclines on the grass while his young son sits on top of him. The father's form echoes the rolling hills in the background.
