Upstart II,
1970
Clement Meadmore, American, 1929–2005
y1971-13
Clement Meadmore's minimalist Upstart II reduces forms to their barest elements for a maximum of expression. The work is constructed of only two components, and its visual effect is of one soaring projection. The sculpture's steel surface has been left to weather and has formed a rich brown patina.
