For Wed., Feb. 2-Lucas Samaras boxes

 This is Samaras' Box no. 54, Colored wool and synthetic polymer paint on wood. 

This is Samaras' Box no. 68, synthetic polymer paint on wood. I chose to show two photos, because I had to view several to get a feel for Samaras' work. To him, the box is not about what is inside, as it is for Cornell. Rather, the art is the box itself--and it does not have to be a whole box. In both these examples, the "boxes" may have started out as whole cubes, but Samaras cut and reconstructed to make something more interesting, architectural, and unexpected.
