Notes |
Described as a "landscape in the air," the horizontal bronze Landscape I (1956) by Hawaiian-born Joseph Goto (1916-1994) is among the more abstract sculptures at Fallingwater. Weighted pieces of wrapped and twisted steel rods cantilever from a central cylinder in two directions, and the work is displayed on the third floor terrace off Edgar Kaufmann jr.'s sleeping alcove. Goto learned to weld while serving in the United States Army during World War II and his sculptures ranged in size from tabletop pieces to large-scale outdoor monuments. Located on the herb terrace at Fallingwater. |
