Description: In 1958, he began the remarkable series of Magic Gadgets, which he called “symbols of our age.” Introducing elements of myth and mystery into otherwise austere welded constructions, these “gadgets” play on the dialectics of industrial technology and transcendental nature, distilled in their curved, cutout forms and suggestively animistic character. -Text by Abigail McEwen
