Transparent Horizon is a 1975 black Cor-ten steel sculpture by Louise Nevelson, installed on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.[1][2][3][4] The artwork was among the first funded by MIT's "Percent-For-Art" program, which allocates $500,000 for art commissions for new architectural renovations on campus.[5] The sculpture is an amalgam of two of Nevelson's previous works, Tropical Tree IV and Black Flower Series IV.[6] The sculpture has been the target of vandalism.[7]
