Notes: The monumental scale sculpture was originally commissioned by Mr. and Mrs. George Jaffin on behalf of the America-Israel Cultural Foundation and gifted to The Julliard School, Lincoln Center, New York City. On May 4, 1971. It became the school's first outdoor sculpture. As this sculpture, It was created with three moveable branches. At the dedication, Yaacov Agam described the work as, "not a statement, but a constant becoming, not a sculpture but many possibilities for one." He went on to state that, people could "perform" the sculpture, moving the three branches to "create new visual spaces, visually and sculpturally interpreting sequences of the work the way a musician plays a piece of music."
