Serra famously worked with Corten steel to create large scale geometric sculptural forms that develop rich oxidized patinas over time, directly paralleling Smith's use of material transformation and dimensional weight in this faceted oval piece. Both artists share a commitment to minimalist abstraction where the raw industrial material itself becomes the expressive subject.

As a central figure in the Light and Space movement alongside Smith's own artistic lineage, McCracken created precisely fabricated geometric forms that explore surface perception, chromatic shift, and the relationship between object and viewer. His polished monolithic sculptures share the same minimalist geometric abstraction and perceptual focus visible in this faceted Corten work.

Kelly's sculptural works in painted steel feature clean geometric profiles and faceted planar forms that create dynamic shadow play and shifting visual depth depending on viewpoint, qualities directly echoed in Smith's faceted oval. Both artists use precise geometric reduction to heighten the viewer's awareness of form, surface, and light.
