...great cup of energy. He is fascinated by the thought of "particles shooting through space," and the spiky mesh shown in color is his conception of the "track of these particles." Each wire had to be pulled separately through molten brass to give it a rough-textured coat. As wire after wire was welded into place, each tended to lose its identity. "The line," says Bertoia, "finally disappears and becomes a diffusion." In a sense, the sculpture has no beginning and no end.

Beecham had another important career-he was a gadfly committed to "a deadly, unstoppable and indefatigable campaign against the dry rot that one observes everywhere in this unhappy land." His coat of arms might have been emblazoned with his personal credo: "Improve the standards; clean out the muck; cut out the cant!" Beecham was sometimes referred to as the greatest amateur in musical history -partially because he was financially independent, partially because he approached his music with a relaxed urbanity foreign...
