This
is a large kinetic magnetic "Suspension" sculpture by Los Angeles
sculptor Bruce Gray. Those are super high powered industrial rare earth
(NdFeB) neodymium iron boron magnets on the ends of the cords, and also
on the frame of the circle, to hold the magnets in place by magnetic force
alone. This is a 40" tall version and is available at $4000. This sculpture
appeared on FOX Channel 11 News, TV show Charmed, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and in the film "Austin
Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me," and that one is available at $7000.
