Fred Sandback

Broadway Boogie Woogie (Sculptural Study, Twenty-two part Vertical Construction)

Fred Sandback's *Broadway Boogie Woogie (Sculptural Study, Twenty-two part Vertical Construction)* employs taut strands of red, yellow, and blue acrylic yarn stretched vertically across space to create a weightless yet architecturally precise geometric composition. Drawing on the primary color palette and syncopated energy of Mondrian's iconic painting, Sandback transforms line into three-dimensional form, allowing the yarn to define and divide space without enclosing it. The work exemplifies Sandback's signature practice of using minimal means to generate a profound sense of volume and spatial presence.
