Rectangles 1981

"Rectangles" (1981) by Hedda Sterne is an abstract work that uses geometric shapes to create an illusion of space. The artwork is divided into three sections, each depicting a different perspective of a rectangular corridor. Sterne's use of black lines and soft grays creates a sense of depth and perspective, inviting viewers to explore the spatial relationships within the artwork. The piece is a prime example of Sterne's interest in exploring the relationship between geometry and space, and its cool, minimalist aesthetic exemplifies her contributions to the Abstract Expressionist movement. It can be found at the Queens Museum of Art.
