General view; "The simple, geometric forms of Joel Shapiro's sculpture suggest the human body in motion. "Untitled" appears from certain views to have two upraised arms and one leg extended, as though taking a bow or preparing to do a cartwheel. Its open forms activate the surrounding space and invite the viewer to strike a similar pose." Located outside on the museum's immense lawn in the 22 acre Kansas City Sculpture Park.
