Two Ninths Grey
1966

A modern art installation featuring a large, red, diamond-shaped carpet on a white floor with two rectangular, flat, grey blocks placed asymmetrically on top of it. The blocks have dark edges, creating a contrast with the vibrant red background. The perspective suggests the image is taken from above, and the artwork is displayed in a white-walled gallery space.
