Olympic Iliad, Steel sculpture at Seattle Center, US.

Olympic Iliad consists of 41 steel cylinders painted in red, measuring 45 feet high, 60 feet wide, and 30 feet deep at Seattle Center.

Alexander Liberman created this sculpture in 1984 through funding from Seattle Center Improvement Bond and private donations from local citizens and corporations.

The sculpture forms part of Seattle's public art collection, with five vertical cylinders supporting the structure near the Space Needle.

Visitors can find Olympic Iliad at the intersection of Broad and John Street, with two information plaques detailing the sponsors and contributors.

The construction required eight 40-foot flatbed trucks to transport all components from the artist's studio in Connecticut to Seattle.
