Val Bertoia (American, b. 1949) B-2427 ($ounds Like Money), 2021 Brass, beryllium-copper 30-1/4 x 11 x 10-1/2 inches (76.8 x 27.9 x 26.7 cm) Stamped B-2427 to side of base In the late 1980s Val Bertoia was asked to repair a rod on Harry Bertoia's 18-fountain sculpture in Richmond, Virginia. When he viewed it from above, he noticed that his father had cleverly arranged the complex grid into a dollar sign design. Inspired by his father's masterpiece, Val configured this 50-rod sounding sculpture into a similar dollar sign design using topped and topless rods.
