Gold Spike

Sebastian Simonet

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an abstract composition with a tall, slender geometric shape against a black background. The central object is an elongated, pyramid-like obelisk with clean, angular lines, a smooth, reflective surface, and a broadened base. To the left, within an outlined rectangle, there is a simple line drawing of the same form, emphasizing its smooth contours and silhouette.
