Exhibition Label: "Rockne Krebs: Drawings for Sculpture You Can Walk Through," Aug-2013, Steve Goddard Krebs began experimenting with Plexiglas as a sculptural medium in 1964. In 1983 the nested pyramidal sculptures from his early career reappeared, slightly modified, as large Plexiglas paper airplanes. These were part of a commission for the Miami International Airport.
