Rotated Rectangle (In Memory of Rowena Reed)

Thomas Patti American

Not on view

Patti graduated from Pratt Institute with a master’s degree in industrial design. His earliest work included geodesic domes, furniture, and utilitarian objects. By the late 1970s, however, he turned to making intimate-sized sculptures from layers of plate glass. These geometric forms became icons of the contemporary art world. Patti has continued to investigate the artistic and industrial properties of glass through architectural commissions. He experimented with the use of his own custom-laminated, light-directional reflective glass for this table design.
