A sequence of black-and-white photographs of a six-part Frustula work on a kitchen table reveals Beverly Buchanan’s interest in, as she put it, the ‘‘inexhaustible number of ways in which and from which the composition is seen.’’ The idea that a single sculpture could afford multiple perspectives was a principal tenet in Minimalism during the 1960s and was later carried through to Post-Minimalism.
