Red Column
1968
A tall, slender rectangular prism rendered in vivid red, this minimalist sculpture exemplifies the reductive aesthetic of contemporary art. The work's polished surface and clean geometric form create a striking presence, with subtle gradations in tone suggesting volume and depth. Cast in wood and finished to a high gloss, the monochromatic column stands in stark contrast to its neutral background, drawing attention to the interplay of light and shadow across its planes.
