Criss-Cross
1963

A colorful abstract sculpture displayed on a white pedestal. The sculpture features geometric shapes stacked in a seemingly precarious manner, with the bottom shapes painted in bright pink, the middle in green, and the top in red, all supporting a mass of black shapes. The overall form suggests a dynamic sense of movement and balance.
