“Inspiring both native Charlotteans and visitors alike”

Metalmorphosis was conceived by Count Riprand Arco, Founder and Chairman of American Asset Corporation, when the Count set out to design a visually stunning focal point for AAC's 200-acre office park development - Whitehall Corporate Center. With it's grand plaza, Whitehall Corporate Center presented an opportunity to create something monumental - a sculpture that would inspire both native Charlotteans and visitors alike. Count Arco approached internationally renown Czech Sculptor, David Cerny.  Cerny's idea for a one-of-a-kind sculpture was conceived, crafted and executed from its original concept, a testament to his technical savvy and his talent as an artist. Cerny says, "I was thinking about doing something as a centerpiece.  I knew I wanted to employ water from the beginning."  In addition to the water element, Cerny's design also incorporates a complex infrastructure and choreographed movement on a magnificent scale, creating a beautiful synergy of form and function.

Worth the stop! Ignore all the old reviews. We stopped today and it was fully functioning and super cool to see.

It is back, but doesn't work. I was told that the repairs of 3 yrs ago did not work. It is stationary but the fountain works. Still impressive.

Completely gone. Stopped on our way to Florida and it was just a metal pole.

Visited Metalmorphosis in March 2019, and he was changing shapes/working. I think this is a great stop! It's free, and an awesome photo opp! We took these from our car. This was our 2nd time here. The other time we went during the week/business hours, and it was crazy busy, hard to find a parking spot. This time, we went on Sunday and hardly anybody was there. I definitely recommend if in the area!

Wasn't what I expected. It's located in a business park, and the rotating head isn't working. Still was fun to break up the monotony of I-85. Go when it is sunset!
