Denver Public Art 1%


1991.8.1
Union Spire is composed of two spires, commissioned separately. The bottom 13-foot spire is composed of 12-1/2 8-sided blocks. Each side is painted with yellow and black diagonal stripes. The top 9-foot spire is composed of a red painted metal that looks like a Slinky. This is encased by 1-inch wide thin pieces of metal that are in the shape of X's and squares, forming 8 blocks up the spire. There is a white-domed light on top of the spires.
