...Untitled?? (1994) by Greg Sandback might go unnoticed without one of the employees in the gallery pointing it out to a visitor or patron, despite its large size. Pink acrylic yarn is shaped into a triangle with the dimensions 19”x19”x19”. However, it is incredibly small compared to Sandback’s other sculptures, which are also composed of string but take up entire rooms in volume...

The work also has more abstract elements when decomposed; the monkey is formed from a single color, almost like a Rorsharch inkblot test except for the details on its face. Most of the canvas remains blank and open; the branch...
