Column Structure XVI

2007

Robert Mangold

Associated Names

Robert Mangold

Artist, American, born 1937

The image shows a bold orange geometric shape with a tall, vertical component and a protruding horizontal section at the top. Inside this shape, a black S-shaped line weaves diagonally across. The design has an abstract quality, resembling a stylized architectural structure like a modern column or support beam. The interplay of rigid geometric edges with the serpentine line suggests architectural elegance, like a spiraling staircase.
