Double Ascension, Steel sculpture in Bunker Hill, Los Angeles, US.
The Double Ascension sculpture stands 20 feet high and 30 feet in diameter, mounted within a circular pool at City National Plaza.
Herbert Bayer created Double Ascension in 1969, drawing inspiration from his earlier works including Articulated Wall and Double Twist.
The structure represents a modernist approach to public art, featuring geometric forms that interact with the surrounding urban environment.
