About this work

This sketch shows two curved shapes on graph paper. One looks like a half-circle sliced into strips, and the other is a twisted, V-shaped form with parallel lines inside. At the bottom, there are three small photos of real objects that look like curved furniture or sculptures. The big drawing has measurements marked in inches. The lines and grid suggest it’s a plan for building something. The artist’s notes explain how to fold the paper to make the shapes stand up. Check out The Museum of Modern Art to see this sketch in person.
