Artifact Overview

Herb Babcock is known for large-scale, public sculptures fabricated of steel and stone in combination with glass. His earliest glass pieces, however, were vessel forms, produced from the early 1970s until the mid-1980s. This piece, made during Babcock's 2017 residency at The Henry Ford, references his earlier work in terms of scale and abstract decoration.
