Museum Provenance

This Chrome Tangle Puzzle recalls kinetic art in our Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Kinetic art refers to works that include motion as a significant dimension. The movement may be real or imagined, mechanically produced or an illusion. Continuous movement creates a multitude of views so the work morphs into new art. Mobiles and sculptures are the most common forms of kinetic art.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
