Three monumental steel sculptures stand on the Whitney Museum's outdoor terrace against a clear blue sky and the Manhattan skyline. Constructed from dark metal latticework, the sculptures resemble stylized figures, ceremonial structures, or towers. The central sculpture features outstretched arm-like extensions and crown-like forms at the top, while the sculptures on either side incorporate branching motifs, hanging elements, and radiating shapes. Sunlight casts intricate geometric shadows across the terrace floor.
