Exploring the intersection of art and identity, this analysis delves into 1960s abstract sculpture through the lenses of transgender studies and queer theory. It challenges traditional interpretations of the era's artistic movements, offering fresh insights into how these sculptures reflect and engage with themes of gender and sexuality. By blending art history with contemporary theories, the work invites readers to reconsider the cultural significance of abstract forms and their relation to personal and collective identities.
