Richard Serra

Untitled (Project for the Whitney Museum)
1973

A detailed photograph of a hand-drawn sketch on graph paper, featuring various geometric shapes, lines, and annotations in different colors of ink and pencil. The paper is filled with mathematical calculations, measurements, and notes, some of which are crossed out or overwritten, suggesting a work in progress or planning phase. The sketch includes a prominent X-shaped structure in the center, with other linear elements and shapes surrounding it. The paper appears aged with creases and slight discolorations.
