"Hovering over M&A's courtyard 'Maximilian's Schell' is a spectacle the size of an apartment building that has been stopping traffic along Silver Lake Boulevard [in Los Angeles] since its unveiling in June. Constructed with tinted Mylar resembling stained glass, the vortex functions as a shade structure, swirling above the outdoor gallery."
