This sculpture is called the wing by Linda Bengalis, an american sculptor of the 1960s. It was made in 1970, out of cast aluminum. Benglis defined convention by painting monumental sculptures explaining "there painterly and yet there dimensional... I do think of my self as a painter." For pieces like wing Bengalis poured liquid polyurethane that hardened, freezing a gesture. This sculpture is a big, solid aluminum and it weighs about 800 pounds, and is about 8 feet tall. This sculpture influences literature because it keeps you thinking, on why its called the wing? I chose this piece of artwork because it cought my eye as soon as I went into the room. When I looked at it it gave me a question. Well, what exactly is it? It was called the wing, but it doesn't look like a wing at all.
