LongHouse Iconic ‘Fly’s Eye Dome’ Sculpture Collapsed During Blizzard

LongHouse Iconic ‘Fly’s Eye Dome’ Sculpture Collapsed During Blizzard

The LongHouse Reserve is fundraising for the restoration of Buckminster Fuller’s iconic fiberglass sculpture Fly’s Eye Dome (1976), which sustained damage during the blizzard that blanketed the East Coast on Sunday. According to the Long Island institution, the outdoor sculpture buckled under heavy snow and collapsed. “It’s devastating,” LongHouse director Carrie Rebora Barratt told Artnet News. “It’s our most iconic piece in the garden. It’s a backdrop for our galas. It’s on most of our promotional materials. And it’s the one thing that almost no one else in the world has.” Related Articles The sculpture is one of only five existing prototypes of Fuller’s Fly’s Eye Dome, a cavernous metal mound punctuated with circular windows. As previously reported, its metal ceiling now lies crumpled in the snow. LongHouse board president Louis Bradbury noted that the dome has a long, expensive recovery ahead, as its components were custom-made, and determining the market value of a piece with virtually no commercial equivalent poses challenges.  In fact, Fly’s Eye Dome is so rare that Fuller patented its modular design in 1965, drawing inspiration from the kaleidoscopic eye of the …
