An End to Modernity by Josiah Elheny

An End to Modernity by Josiah Elheny Art Piece (Glass Structure)

Designed in collaboration with CCAPP scientist David Weinberg, McElheny's sculpture traces the 14 billion year history of the expanding universe. The central aluminum sphere, lamps, and glass pieces depict the last scattering surface, the rise and fall of the quasar population, and the growth, transformation, and clustering of galaxies.

First exhibited at the Wexner Center for the Arts, An End to Modernity is now in the collection of the Tate Modern gallery in London.
