Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Sherrie Levine/Joost van Oss: Sculpture at Paula Cooper Gallery, New York, 23 October–4 December, 1999.

Sherrie Levine and Joost van Oss’s collaborative exhibition consisted of an installation of two sculptures inspired by Dutch architect and designer Gerrit Rietveld — Berlin Chair (1923) and End Table (1923). Each sculpture consists of a set of 24 steel units. Arranged in a grid, the formation of these sculptures recalls the programmatic dispersal of 54 vertical cedar units in Carl Andre’s Flanders Field (1978) and Donald Judd’s large-scale floor pieces.
