Julius Schmidt is an American sculptor who earned his B.F.A. A Catalog of the show accompanies this piece. It was exhibited in March 9 - 31, 1963 at the Otto Gerson Gallery, New York, NY. This extraordinary piece is a heart stopping example of what a genius creative can produce. Constructed in 1963, prior to film industry creatives scaring viewers with visions of unimaginable spacecraft come to destroy earth, Julius Schmidt's imagination was unstoppable with his numerous and unique cast bronze sculptures. Titled 'Untitled' this piece has the monumental quality and style of a spaceship that has been circling the universe forever.

This Pre-Star Wars Space Ship captures the magic, power and volume of unidentified objects that pass through our solar system and within viewing site of spaceship Earth.
