About this work
Overview
Created in 2013 by American artist Mark Fox, this untitled work belongs to the intaglio construction genre and is part of the Museum of Modern Art’s collection. The piece consists of a series of thin metal sheets arranged in a zigzag formation, producing a compact, three‑dimensional object that invites close inspection.
Technique & Style
Fox employs an intaglio construction process, cutting and layering metal sheets that are then joined with fine wire. The sheets vary between flat and gently curved planes, generating subtle shadows and a sense of depth. A restrained palette of muted greens, grays, off‑whites, and occasional warm browns emphasizes the materiality of the metal and the work’s architectural quality.
Subject & Meaning
The overlapping sheets suggest a miniature architectural structure or a labyrinthine passage, prompting viewers to consider notions of space, support, and fragility. By arranging industrial material in a delicate, almost book‑like stack, Fox explores the tension between solidity and vulnerability inherent in constructed forms.
History & Provenance
The work was produced in 2013 and subsequently acquired by the Museum of Modern Art, where it remains in the permanent collection. Its inclusion in MoMA’s holdings reflects the institution’s interest in contemporary print practices that extend beyond traditional paper media.
