Light and Movement: by Michio Ihara:
Inside the lobby of the International Building, on the south walls, are ten metallic sculptures, conceived as a single art work by their creator, Michio Ihara. They include about 16,000 individually balanced stainless steel leaves with gold patina, supported by vertical stainless steel cable. The beauty of the design is intended to reflect light and movement. This work was installed in July 1978.
