Moondog is a minimalist sculpture created by Tony Smith in 1964.[1] The piece is composed of 15 octahedra and 10 tetrahedra, and while perfectly ordered and symmetrical when seen from certain angles, it carries a strong tilt forward when seen from other angles. This is the third of an edition of three in the series (with one artist's proof).
