Inset Wall Piece Gray with Maroon Interior
View through Harvard Museums
Winsor's sculpture is in fact a wall piece, a three-dimensional cube fashioned from what she calls "acrylic altered cement," which has been constructed as a very thin (approx. 1/8 inch), pigmented, five-sided, hard-edged, precisely cut cube set into a thicker slabbed, five-sided gray cement cube with a neatly trimmed flange that acts as a brake and reads as a frame for the inner open cube once it is set into the wall. (The cement flange rests against the wall.)Th inner, recessed cube's surface has been rubbed with purplish-black powdered pigment that has then been rubbed away. According to Roy and Dorothy Lavine, owners and now donors of this Inset Wall Piece, Winsor herself, and not an assitant, created the entire piece. If this is true, it may be a prototype for another Inset Wall Piece, also dated 1988-89, but Gray with Red Interior, once in the collection of the McKee Gallery. (See Milwaukee Art Museum, Jackie Winsor, Dean Sobel, 1991-92. Plate #27. Inset Wall Piece Gray with Red Interior, 1988-89, Acrylic altered cement and powdered acrylic pigment. 11 x 11 x 4 1/2 inches (28 x 28 x 11.4 cm)).
