Description The Untitled (L's) sculpture has three identical components and was fabricated by a yacht manufacturer in New York state. Each vertical beam measures tall and each horizontal beam is long. The beams themselves are in height and wide. Each component has a structural steel core with an layer of brushed stainless steel sheeting over the top. The sculpture was installed in deep concrete beds, ensuring that it will not blow over due to a storm or heavy winds.
