Serra's large scale sculptural works explore convex and concave spatial relationships through monochromatic steel forms, directly paralleling Gates's investigation of geometric abstraction and architectural presence in this piece.

Ellsworth Kelly's minimalist geometric compositions in monochrome share a deep formal kinship with this work, as both artists strip abstraction down to essential curved and planar relationships that engage the viewer spatially.

Puryear's abstract sculptural forms combine geometric precision with organic spatial tension in ways that closely mirror Gates's exploration of convex and concave architectural relationships through mixed media construction.
