Sculptor, American, 1933 - 1996

This sculpture is an arrangement of fluorescent light tubes against a plain wall. The tubes are of different lengths and are all placed vertically. In the center are two tall tubes, with a series of shorter tubes extending to the left and right. They create a tiered triangle shape with a line extending from the bottom that looks similar to a blocky arrow pointing upwards. The tubes cast white light on the wall behind them.
