Untitled
This dynamic abstract drawing by Mark di Suvero deploys bold gestural strokes of ink and silver marker across a cream paper ground, evoking the sweeping structural energy of the artist's monumental steel sculptures translated into graphic form. Diagonal beams of deep black ink intersect with gray washes and fine silver lines, creating a sense of tension, momentum, and architectural weight. Signed by hand and designated a unique work, this drawing is a compelling example of di Suvero's graphic practice and was presented as part of the exhibition Mark di Suvero: Avanti!

Artists in conversation
Richard Serra
American · b. 1938
Serra shares di Suvero's commitment to monumental industrial steel sculpture that engages space and gravity as primary forces, using raw rolled and weathered steel to create physically commanding abstract forms on an architectural scale.
Alexander Calder
American · b. 1898
Calder pioneered large scale abstract metal sculpture that incorporates dynamic balance and movement, directly influencing di Suvero's use of suspended and pivoting steel elements that interact with wind and physical space.
Anthony Caro
British · b. 1924
Caro similarly assembled welded industrial steel beams and found metal components into bold abstract compositions that reject the pedestal and engage the viewer at ground level, sharing di Suvero's gestural and structural language in fabricated steel abstraction.
