Hanging Light

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows the lower halves of two glass light fixtures, titled "Hanging Light", from artist Dale. The glass on the left is purple with a bulbous bottom that tapers to a short cylindrical top. The glass on the right is teal with the same shape. The teal glass sits to the right of the purple glass. Light reflects off the inner surfaces. The background is white with a vignette effect.
