Infinity, Abstract sculpture at National Museum of American History, United States
The rotating metal sculpture Infinity features curved lines and polished surfaces that create reflections throughout its continuous movement at the museum entrance.
Created by José de Rivera in 1967, this stainless steel sculpture represents a significant investment of $104,520 for public art initiatives in Washington D.C.
The sculpture combines mathematical precision with artistic expression through its form, representing the concept of endlessness in three-dimensional space.
Visitors can observe the sculpture's slow rotation from multiple angles at the south entrance of the museum on Madison Drive and 12th Street.
The structure measures 4.1 meters high by 2.4 meters wide and 4.9 meters long, with a mechanical system enabling continuous movement on its base.
