Bicycle Piece

 When the painter Andre' Durain was on his deathbed, Giacometti the sculptor came to his side
 and asked if there was anything he could get his good friend.  Andre' looked up and said,
"a bicycle and a piece of blue sky"  Bicycle Piece is 10 ft. wide x 6.5 ft. tall and 3 ft. deep.
 All the black is steel and the fender shape is covered in sheet lead. Two piano legs are under the Blue  sphere. Both the sphere and ring are wood painted.   I love this piece.

    Nice piece Bob, interesting imagery over time; ring, sphere, and your silhouette! Other than email I don't use social media so I hope this reaches you.
