Wandering Rocks is a minimalist sculpture created by Tony Smith in 1964.[1]
The piece is composed of 5 pieces. While these "rocks" are individual elements they were conceived as a single artwork without fixed spatial relationships to each other.[2] They have been installed in a variety of ways, each being slightly different.
This is the fourth of an edition of five in the series (with one artists proof). Other editions of the sculpture are on display at:
- Olympic Sculpture Park (AP)
- Kykuit (John D. Rockefeller Estate) (1/5)
- Lynden Sculpture Garden (2/5)
