This drawing shows three tall, empty rectangular shapes stacked in a row. They’re outlined in thin pencil lines against a light background. The shapes look like open boxes without tops or bottoms, floating slightly above the ground. The artist used simple lines to make these forms feel light and airy. It’s part of a set of drawings where Sandback explored space without color or detail. Check out Fred Sandback to see how he turned basic lines into thought-provoking art.
