▤ Summary

However, it stands out from the rest of the buildings because of its unique Art Deco style architecture — focusing on geometric patterns and vertical lines. When the new glass atrium was constructed, executives decided they wanted a marble replica of Electra to display. They selected Andrew Wielawski, an American sculptor living and working in Carrara, Italy, for the project. Working from pure white statuario marble from the same quarry used by Michelangelo, the project took a year to complete. Each statue is holding a different item, meant to work together and represent Power, Light and Heat.
