Abstract Head
1960

A sculpture resembling a spherical object with protruding rods is displayed on a white pedestal against a neutral background. The sculpture appears to be made of rusted metal, with the rods arranged in a radial pattern, emanating from the center of the sphere. The texture suggests weathering or aging, and the piece has an industrial aesthetic.
