All in the Air at Once, Aluminum sculpture in Milwaukee, US.
All in the Air at Once is an aluminum sculpture in Milwaukee composed of geometric forms and intersecting patterns. The metallic surface catches sunlight throughout the day, creating shifting shadows and reflections that give the piece a dynamic appearance.
The sculpture was installed in 2006 by artist Richard Taylor as part of Milwaukee's effort to grow its public art collection. This addition reflected the city's commitment to bringing contemporary art into its public spaces.
The piece shows how industrial materials can become art, connecting visitors to Milwaukee's long history of manufacturing and craftsmanship. Walking around it, you sense the city's pride in transforming raw materials into something creative.
The sculpture is accessible year-round and free to visit without any admission required. It is best to see it at different times of day to observe how changing light affects the metallic surface and creates different visual effects.
The aluminum was chosen specifically because it maintains its appearance without weathering or deterioration over time. This makes it a rare example of a modern outdoor installation that keeps its original shine indefinitely.
