Robert Morris

Leo Castelli Gallery, New York

Untitled (Scatter Piece) 1968-69. It consists of 200 elements that Morris fabricated specifically for this works. 100 elements are made from six metals (zinc, copper, brass, steel, aluminium and lead) of different shapes and dimensions. As Jeffrey Weiss writes: "The sets are generated according to chance calculations originally determined by coin toss plus numbers randomly selected from the NYC telephone directory (although the system is inconsistently applied); these govern the lenth, width, thickness, and number of bends (0, 1, or 2) for each unit". The 200 elements are then 'scattered' on the floor, again, in a seeming random matter.
