Geometric forms, mostly rectangles with blurred edges, in tones of ivory and muted orange, red, and blue fit loosely together in this vertical abstract painting. The paint is blended and the forms have soft, blurred edges. Near the center, two vertical, narrow rectangles are painted in slate and ocean blue. A streak of the slate blue continues in a broken line down to the bottom edge of the canvas. Along the left edge of the canvas, several shapes are stacked, starting at the top with a pale shell-pink, horizontal rectangle above a rose-pink square. Then there is an ivory-white square and a vertical, ivory rectangle that continues off the bottom edge of the canvas. In the lower right quadrant, the largest form is a marigold-orange, horizontal rectangle with a few smudges and blocks of ruby red above it. A taller, crimson-red rectangle in the upper right is streaked with six vertical, white lines that seem to drip down from a white rectangle above. The shapes are surrounded by a pale, apricot-orange field.

Two candy apple-red, horizontal rectangles with soft, blurry edges sit one over the other, separated and surrounded by a thin border of carnation red in this nearly square abstract painting. The top rectangle takes up the top third of the composition and the larger rectangle is below.

Two black bands span the height of this vertical canvas against a field of white mottled with shades of ivory, bone, and parchment in this abstract painting. A narrow, solid black stripe lines the left edge of the canvas, like the spine of a book. About a quarter of the way in from the right edge, black paint swirls and wafts like smoke on either side of a narrow white stripe the same color as the background. The artist signed and dated the painting in black paint in the lower right corner of the canvas: “Barnett Newman 1958.”

Three thin, black bands span the height of this otherwise cream-white, vertical, abstract painting. One solid black band is along the left side of the canvas, and it is lined with parchment brown along its crisp right edge. The other two black bands are near each other about three-quarters of the way across the composition. Together these two are about the same width as the first black band. The outermost edges of pair of black bands are filmy, and a sliver of white separates the two up the middle. Black paint is spattered in the lower left quadrant of the painting, and the artist signed and dated the lower right corner, “Barnett Newman 1960.”

This painting consists of a large, vertical black line on the left edge and three vertical black lines to the right, all against a plain cream background. The line on the left is the thickest and also has the cleanest edge. The next line, which is to the right of center, is still straight, but the color is slightly patchy. The next two lines on the right are the thinnest and are placed very close together. These lines are very messy, with streaks of black paint surrounding them.

A thin black line and a thicker black band span the height of this otherwise cream-white, vertical, abstract painting. The black line is near the left side of the canvas. The solid black band is across the canvas to take up about the rightmost fifth of the composition. Along the inner edge of the band is a thin white line and then a black line, both with jagged, slightly bleeding edges. The artist signed and dated the painting in the lower left corner in black, "Barnett Newman 1964.”

A bright white strip and a pair of white lines span the height of this otherwise cream-white, vertical, abstract painting. The wider white strip is along the left side of the canvas, and the pair of thinner lines are side-by-side about three-quarters of the way across from the left. There are a few touches of rust-orange discoloration scattered across the canvas. The artist signed and dated the lower right corner with white paint, "Barnett Newman 1964.”

Wide and narrow strips of cream white and charcoal gray span the height of this vertical, abstract painting. The left three-quarters of the composition is dark gray except for a narrow white line near the left edge. The gray field ends to the right with a precise, vertical edge. A narrow white line follows, and then a thin blade of gray is brushed shallowly into the white, rightmost quarter of the composition.
