Lonnie Holley
American, born 1950

Obstacles Before the Goal, 1994
Metal fencing and soccer ball

Gift of William Arnett, 1995.41

A soccer ball in a wire cage symbolizes the
social and economic obstacles which may
prevent an individual from succeeding or
"making the goal." Likening the black and
white designs of the ball to the pattern on a
chessboard, Lonnie Holley sees life as a contest
or game that demands discipline and endurance.
