About this piece
A row of heads, one continuous sheet of chrome. Every family has tried this.
Family is a figurative sculpture by Davide Markson, from the United States, dated 1976 and made of chromed steel. The family group is an old subject for sculptors, a way of showing how separate people hold together, and here it becomes a single shape. Rounded heads rise and dip along a rippling silhouette, with smaller forms hanging inward and a long tail trailing off to one side. A narrow stem lifts it from a block of grained wood. It is 16 inches wide and 11.75 high.
Nobody gets their own space. That appears to be the idea.
