Description
I looked up and there it was, waiting. Commissioned by Henry Segerstrom in 1985, Sculptor Richard Lippold's 60-foot-high sculpture was designed to be architecturally integrated into both the exterior and interior of Segerstrom Hall at the Segerstrom Performing Arts Center, Costa Mesa, California, USA. The gold, red and silver colored stainless-steel and aluminum sculpture was named "Fire Bird" by the late Renee Segerstrom as an homage to Igor Stravinsky's famous ballet of the same name. While the sculpture is about the colors and rhythms of music and how they relate to the asymmetric architecture of the (then) Orange County Performing Arts Center, it does happen to resemble a bird.
Devoted to pure geometry, Lippold's constructions in space employ simple geometric forms that outline triangles, cubes, pyramids, cones and circles.
