History
The sculpture was dedicated on January 20, 1973.[2] Bayer was commissioned by ARCO, and he based his design on his earlier works "Articulated Wall", "Double Twist", and "Stairs to Nowhere."[3] An unverified claim is that Bayer's original title for the sculpture was Stairway to Nowhere, which he changed at the request of company officials.
