#The Ball of Pomodoro
Pesaro Italy
The impressive ball lying on the surface of a fountain from which you look at the sea, is the bronze cast made in 1998 by sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro on a polyester model arrived in Pesaro in 1971 but realized in 1967 for the Expo ' Montreal. The original work is today in Rome in front of the main entrance of the Foreign Ministry, the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
Conceived as the pure vision of reality, the sphere is no more than the world torn and cracked by external events.
Arnaldo Pomodoro (born 23 June 1926) is an Italian sculptor. He was born in Morciano, Romagna, Italy. He currently lives and works in Milan. His brother, Giò Pomodoro (1930–2002) was also a sculptor.
Some of Pomodoro's "Sphere Within Sphere" (Sfera con Sfera) can be seen in the Vatican Museums, Trinity College, Dublin, the United Nations Headquarters and Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, the de Young Museum in San Francisco, Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, American Republic Insurance Company in Des Moines, Iowa, the Columbus Museum of Art in Columbus, Ohio, the University of California, Berkeley and the Tel Aviv University, Israel.
