The Rotating Fountain

Mediums: steel.
Location: Located in the garden of St. Thomas Hospital, London (the UK).

The fountain is the apotheosis of the embodiment of the ideas of Gabo, which he developed from the 1920s. For decades, he was making series of models and layouts using the theme of torsion. The order was offered after the director of the Tate Gallery, G. Reed, got to know the project “Torsion (Project for a Fountain)”, completed in the early 1960s. A full-sized version of the sculpture, which is a series of intersecting curved plates, was deliberately left unpainted. The work was installed in 1975 in the center of a circular pond overlooking the Thames, Big Ben and Westminster Bridge.
