Scraper

Frank Maurer

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a minimalistic and abstract form made of a single piece with two tall, gently curving columns that rise and curl outward at their tops. The material is a rust-colored metal, giving it a textured and industrial aesthetic. The sculpture is standing upright with the columns parallel to each other, and it features a central concave section connecting the columns. The piece is displayed on an unadorned background, emphasizing its form and color.
