It is attributed to Tony Smith although it was made 19 years after his death. This is because the original sculpture was finished in 1968 and was made of plywood, but Smith wanted it to be made of steel.[1]
It was originally called One Gate,[3] but renamed as Stinger after the cocktail that was trending at the time of its creation.[1]
Overview
It consists of a large square metal frame with many edges and an entrance in one of the sides. It is made of steel and was painted black. The original was made of plywood.[1][4]
The measures for it are approximately 2,15m x 10,11m x 10,11m (6 ft 6 inches x 33 ft 4.25 inches x 33ft4.25in),[3] thus having the perimeter of ≈32,48m (≈106,56 ft) and the area of ≈219,75m2 (≈730,96 ft2).
