Description
Sloss Furnaces, located in Birmingham, Alabama, produced pig iron from 1882-1971 when technological advances rendered its blast furnaces obsolete. Preservations worked to save the site which now hosts a metal arts program and serves as an interpretive museum. Visits are free Tuesday-Saturday from 10-4. “Blast Furnace - Iron Ore - Abstract – 3” is a detail from some of the old equipment. The combination of rust red and turquoise and the geometric design with its rectangles, lines, cylinders, and circles resulted in this industrial abstract.
