The Rhombicosidodecahedron

This amazing piece is near the entrance of the Palm Springs Art Museum. It was designed by Anthony James in 2020.

The rhombicosidodecahedron is made of steel, specialized glass and LED lights.

My hypothesis is that the glass is one-way glass with mirrors on the inside surfaces. The reflected shapes inside repeat to infinity.

Mesmerizing!

The name was too hard for me to say, so I called it the Buckyball Mirror Ball.
