The abstract composition of interlocking metal shapes and vivid colors evokes the spirit of the Memphis Group, Alexander Calder, and the great tradition of postwar abstract sculpture — a lineage Howe consciously inhabits and extends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"179-1\"\u003eBrad Howe was born in 1959 in Riverside, California. A student of International Relations at Stanford University, he discovered his passion for art at the University of São Paulo, where he fell in with architecture students and began making Calder-inspired kinetic mobiles from scrap metal.\u003c\/cite\u003e Since then, \u003ccite index=\"181-1\"\u003ehe has exhibited in over eighteen countries worldwide and his works have been placed in collections in more than 32 countries, including public commissions for MIT, Temple University, the City of Beverly Hills, and the Georgia International Convention Center.\u003c\/cite\u003e His work is held in the Pasadena Museum of California Art, M.I.T., and numerous private and corporate collections worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowe's sculptures balance what one writer called \"playfulness, wit, strength, stillness, and motion\" — a dynamic energy that makes them immediately engaging in any interior setting. The small scale of this edition makes it ideal for a desk, shelf, or pedestal, bringing the presence of monumental public sculpture into a domestic or commercial space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtist: Brad Howe (American, b. 1959)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitle: \u003cem\u003eAtlas Melody\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium: Painted metal sculpture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdition: 5\/20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDate: 1994\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignature: Signed, numbered, and dated to side edge — BRAD HOWE 5 of 20 1994\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 16 in. × 15 in. × 5 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter the monumental work exhibited at Fundidora Park, Monterrey, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Good — mild age-related storage wear.
