Description

Between 1969 and 1973, Martin attempted numerous variations of this work, changing the dimensions of the reflective bars that compose his works, the number of them, and the amount of space between them.4 This work, one of numerous ones in this configuration, is composed of a series of varying lengths of 37 reflective bars (.36 inches wide) gradually increasing from 1.4 inches to 11.25 inches in length. The bars are attached to a central rod. All versions of Screw Mobile, done in a variety of media, rotate with the air currents.
