This work dates to the French artist’s 1950 visit to New York. Black slashes describe the steel
skeletons of the Rockefeller Center skyscrapers, while the splayed perspective heightens their
towering effect.
OM6 refers to “original multiples,” a contradictory term Fautrier coined to challenge ideas of
originality and authenticity.
