Focus on Chaos I and analyze the Historical information.
The architect for the original building, Cesar Pelli, wanted to have a sculpture in the center of The Commons by Tinguely and with the generosity of two Columbus families, the Millers and Tangemans, this idea became a reality.  Pelli envisioned an artwork that would be a meeting place that drew visitors to surprises.  Tinguely, who had recently completed a similar sculpture Heureka in Zurich, Switzerland was Pelli's first and only choice.The sculpture was made in Columbus, Indiana from 1973 to 1974 by Tinguely and his assistant, Josef Imhof, who constructed the artwork in what was then the Southern Machine Company's shop, the former Columbus Pump House building located on Second and Lindsey Streets.  Many from Columbus helped provide materials and expertise needed to fabricate, transport, and then install the artwork in its present location, where it has always remained.The Commons was rebuilt in 2011 by Koetter Kim & Associates, but the sculpture remained in place during the building process; it was switched back on June 4, 2011.
