Auto Tower, Industrial Forms (part B) c. 1922

John Storrs' "Auto Tower, Industrial Forms (part B)" (c. 1922) is a striking example of the artist's interest in the emerging industrial landscape of the early 20th century. The sculpture, crafted from painted plaster, depicts a stylized tower, a powerful symbol of modern urban development. Its geometric form, rendered in sharp, angular lines, is characteristic of the Cubist and Constructivist styles that Storrs embraced. The sculpture's verticality emphasizes the upward reach of the modern city, while its abstract qualities offer a commentary on the changing nature of urban spaces.
