Anthology (Senga Nengudi)
2011

A diptych of two images set in a rustic room with a skylight. On the left, a person pours red paint onto a sculpture wrapped in white fabric, surrounded by a circular pattern of colorful sand on the floor. On the right, the sculpture is absent, leaving a vibrant splash of red, blue, and purple hues on the sandy floor, resembling an abstract painting.
