About the artworkSince the 1960s, Dan Graham has been
famous for his pavilions made of mirrors
and window glass. The structure of
Pavilion Sculpture II suggests in every
way that what we are looking at is a
building. And yet, it is the very opposite
of a building. It has no ceiling and offers
no protection against the cold. It is not
closed and cannot protect us against
outer threats. The mirrors reflect the
surroundings and confuse the eye.
The boundaries between building
and setting are blurred.
