Balanced, Unbalanced T

Balanced, Unbalanced T is a work in steel and is part of the SFMOMA's sculpture collection. The sculpture was given to the SFMOMA by William S. Picher and Wally Goodman in 1981 with the intention that the museum would place the sculpture on extended loan to the San Francisco Symphony for as long as they wished to borrow it. Fletcher Benton was an American sculptor and painter from San Francisco, California. While his creative endeavors began in paint, he moved away from canvas due to what he felt were its limitations. Today he is widely known for his kinetic art as well as his large-scale steel abstract geometric sculptures.
