Photograph of Archimedes sculpture

Photograph of a sculpture created by Morton C. Bradley, Jr., in 2003. This sculpture is a composite form. Composed of twelve halved icosidodecahedra, twenty halved cubeoctaheadra and thirty halved octahedra, Archimedes is a complex, composite form. Built around a core of a truncated icosahedron, all sixty-two colors that were used by Bradley in previous works are present in this culminating sculpture. Demonstrating the classic Bradley color aesthetic, cool wintry tones shift to warm to velvety jewel tones and cool again as the sculpture rotates. While each of Bradley’s sculptures employs a distinctive set of color variations, Archimedes is the only piece painted using all of Bradley’s color options.
