1963
This monumental abstract sculpture presents a bold geometric form rendered in dark bronze. The work features an angular, interconnected structure that suggests a stylized numeral or letter while maintaining an ambiguous, non representational quality. Mounted on a light colored base, the piece demonstrates the artist's characteristic approach to volumetric abstraction through clean lines and dramatic spatial relationships. The sculpture's dynamic composition creates multiple viewpoints, inviting viewers to engage with its form from different angles and perspectives.
