The Collection Spotlight gives us the opportunity to share our diverse Permanent Collection with visitors from around the globe. This quarter, Tohono Chul celebrates the life and work of artist Anthony Melendy through his striking copper sculpture, Space Form. A recipient of the Frank Lloyd Wright Memorial Award in 1965, Melendy created artworks that offered new perspectives on traditional materials. In this wall-hung sculpture, the undulating copper limbs mimic the buoyancy of floating seaweed as it reaches towards the ocean’s surface, offering us a unique glimpse of the many forms of copper.
