Centerpiece c. 1934

"Centerpiece" is a sculpture by American artist James Amster, created in 1934 and currently located at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The piece consists of a rectangular metal frame filled with parallel tubes and punctuated by regularly spaced holes, creating a visually intriguing pattern. Amster's use of industrial materials and minimalist design reflects the aesthetic of early 20th-century sculpture, exploring the interplay of form and function.
