Iliad Japan

Sun, May 15, 2011, by Muza-chan

Alexander Semeonovitch Liberman was a complete artist. He was a painter, a sculptor, a photographer and an editor. His abstract sculptures are featured in many museums in the world. Made from ingeniously assembled industrial objects (steel beams, tank drums, boiler heads or pipes), his sculptures are always a point of attraction…
One of them is located in Tokyo, in the Sankei Plaza from Otemachi, in front of the Sankei Building. Installed in 1987, the sculpture is a giant 14-meters-tall red pipes assembly, and it is part of a series of sculptures called Iliad. Hence, its name is Iliad Japan:
