Swinging steel and concrete in D.C - yep, that's the spot!

Slip on by the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, where you'll catch a collection of metal, concrete, and bronze sculptures. But one piece, a wee metal bloke, will leave you scratching your noggin - a part of the legendary Cubi series by David Smith, standing tall and hollow since 1965!

The National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, the capital's green haven, boasts a fascinating array of metal, concrete, and bronze sculptures. Yet, one sculpture, a humble hollow metal chap, packs a surprising punch - it's a recognizable figure from the eminent Cubi series of fellow artist David Smith, basking in the sun since 1965, stock-still as can be. Initially looking like a plain triangle with a stretched tail, don't be fooled - it's this sculpture's humble demeanor that hides a magnificent showcase of artistic flair and craftsmanship.
