Untitled Broken Rectangle (5 Units) 1980

Robert MacPherson's 1980 minimalist sculpture, *Untitled Broken Rectangle (5 Units)*, presents a series of five white, rectangular panels arranged in a horizontal line. The minimal intervention in the piece, the slight variations in the panels' alignment, creates a sense of subtle tension. This work exemplifies MacPherson's signature style, characterized by a stark and geometric simplicity, which challenges the viewer to engage with the space between the forms and the act of perception itself.
