Coffee Grinder

Gordon Sanborn

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features an abstract form with a spherical element at its center and a cylindrical rod protruding from it, all housed within a boat-like base. It is depicted in a dark color, possibly metallic. The orientation of the sculpture suggests balance, with the central sphere resting on the concave base. Several sketches accompanying the sculpture offer various angles and sections, revealing its design comprehensively. These sketches provide a detailed view of the sculpture's three-dimensional characteristics.
