I chose this sculpture because it was one of the more unique sculptures in the Cubi series, in my opinion. The Cubi series is a bunch of stainless steel sculptures made from cubes, spheres and rectangular solids. The Cubi sculptures are an example of modernism in sculpture. These works were abstract while also resembling figures. This was one of the last works composed by David Smith. Cubi XXVI on January 12, 1965. An interesting fact about Cubi XXVI is that it was once on loan to the White House. It is currently on display at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden in Washington DC.
