In this artwork, how is the History discussed?
The sculpture was dedicated on January 20, 1973. Bayer was commissioned by ARCO, and he based his design on his earlier works "Articulated Wall", "Double Twist", and "Stairs to Nowhere."  An unverified claim is that Bayer's original title for the sculpture was Stairway to Nowhere, which he changed at the request of company officials.
