Remarks:
The sculpture was designed and constructed as part of an art situation workshop at Kansas State University in the summer of 1969 by James Wentz, who was a sophomore in art education at the time. The workshop was funded by the Educational Facilities Laboratory of the Ford Foundation and partially by Kansas State University. The artist never titled the sculpture, but it is popularly referred to as "The Fork" or the "Claw". IAS files contain an article about the sculpture which appear in the Kansas State University "Collegian" dated November 10, 1988.
