Twist for Max

Twist for Max is an aluminum sculpture at Lynden Sculpture Garden in Milwaukee that features a vertical twisted column design integrated into the garden landscape. The work displays a dynamic spiral pattern along its height that visitors can examine from multiple vantage points throughout the grounds.

Bernard Kirschenbaum created this sculpture in 1974 as part of Margaret Bradley's efforts to expand the garden's art collection. It was among the works that transformed the former Bradley estate grounds into a major outdoor art destination.

The sculpture stands among fifty other significant outdoor art pieces within the transformed 40-acre property of the former Bradley estate.

Visitors can access this artwork by exploring the various pathways throughout the garden grounds at their own pace. Plan adequate time to view multiple pieces across the property and appreciate the different perspectives offered by the landscape.

The Smithsonian Institution has documented this aluminum creation in their Inventory of American Sculpture database for its structural design.
