Fortunately it was a breezy day when I found this piece. I watched for several minutes while the sculpture spun and flipped. It was like watching a giant child's toy! The sculpture weighs 1,800 pounds, stands 25 feet tall and is 13 feet wide. Its design is to represent the planets of our solar system. (Information from page 3 of Lowry Living, Volume 57, link below).
