Ted GallThe sculpture was created during the 1970s and was located in the Fel-Pro building on McCormick Boulevard in Skokie for 25 years. The sculpture was donated to the library in 2010 by the Federal Mogul Corporation, the parent company of Fel-Pro Manufacturing. When first installed, the sculpture hung on the outer west wall of the library, but it was damaged in 2012 when vandals attempted to remove copper tubing from the piece. After returning from being repaired by the artist the sculpture was relocated to the interior South Courtyard.
