T01371 comprises steel strips either attached to or balancing on two acrylic blocks. The artist told the compiler on 21 March 1972 that it is at present only possible to acquire blocks of colourless transparent acrylic. The work represents the artist’s new interest in achieving density and volume through actual mass and weight. The artist believes that the steel strips in fact present a surrealist appearance that he had not intended. He also thinks that the small slab of acrylic should have been larger.
