五个橙色球
多个地点,美国和欧洲
“呵呵……这些花真漂亮!”
——安迪·沃霍尔(1983年接受采访,回应威廉姆斯的五个橙色球体项目)
“文字与隐喻的巧妙结合……是短暂的胜利。”——全景Mese杂志,米兰
旅行装置:这个项目跨越了30多年的时间,包括美国和欧洲的城市和农村地点。它发表在《生活》杂志和法国、意大利和德国的杂志上。对出版权的补偿使这个项目得以继续,最终导致了十多个不同地点的装置。
在法国Château d 'Azay-le-Rideau,五个球漂浮在护城河上。
艺术家为“五个橙色球体”的棕榈树装置画的草图。这幅素描展示了悬浮在加利福尼亚州比弗利山庄山麓大道上的球体。
这里的地点是加利福尼亚州圣莫尼卡的帕利塞德公园。
当威廉姆斯的“五个橙色球体”挂在加利福尼亚的棕榈树上时,看起来就像一串非常诱人的水果。当点缀在俄勒冈州坎农海滩的沙滩上时,它们似乎是巨大海龟的神秘蛋。
在这里,直径5、6英尺的球体在纽约市中央公园的绵羊草地上休憩。
电报山,旧金山,加利福尼亚州。
在加州的米尔谷,五个球体似乎正朝着房子前进。仔细一看就会发现第五个球已经进入了房子。

Multiple locations, USA & Europe
“Ohhh...... those are beautiful!”
— Andy Warhol (from a 1983 interview, in response to Williams’ Five Orange Spheres project)
“A skillfully orchestrated union of the literal with the metaphorical… a triumph of the ephemeral.”
— Panorama Mese magazine, Milan
Traveling Installation: This project has spanned a time period of more than 30 years, and has included urban and rural sites across the United States and Europe. It was published in LIFE Magazine and in journals in France, Italy and Germany. Compensation for publication rights allowed the project to continue, ultimately leading to more than a dozen installations in vastly different locales.
At Château d’Azay-le-Rideau, France, the five orbs floated on the moat.

The location here is Palisades Park in Santa Monica, California.
“When hanging from the palm trees in California, Williams’ Five Orange Spheres appear as opulent bunches of terribly tempting fruit. When dotting the sandy shore of Cannon Beach, Oregon, they seem to be the mysterious eggs of huge sea turtles.” — Grazia magazine, Milan
Here, the five, six-foot diameter spheres lounge in the Sheep’s Meadow of Central Park in New York City.
Telegraph Hill, San Francisco, California.
In Mill Valley, California the five spheres appear to march right into the house. A very close look reveals the 5th sphere which has already entered the house.
