About the sculpture
Viewed frontally, this sculpture appears to be composed of a single sheet of highly-polished steel curling gently upward at its base. But viewed off-center, a second sheet of steel is revealed--as is the meaning of the work's title. At their bottom edges, these essentially identical forms almost meet; but at their top edges, they tilt away from one another. Although this large, vertical form is not unimposing, its gleaming surface subtly reflects its surroundings, allowing the sculpture to exist harmoniously in nature. In the last decade of his career, Robert Adams largely concentrated on relatively small pieces in bronze. This stainless steel form is one of his final large-scale sculptures. A careful and conscientious craftsman, Adams created numerous detailed drawings and elevations to work out the form. These documents, along with small models, would serve as a guide for the fabricator. *Two* was cast in an edition of three.
