Photograph, Serpentine Gallery

This is a Photograph. It was designed by Pat McGrath and Sou Fujimoto Architects. It is dated 2013. Its medium is digital print.

Sou Fujimoto Architects created the Serpentine Pavilion in 2013 as a temporary structure, using interlocking grids and glass planes to form multipurpose surfaces, steps, seats, and tables. The transparent construction offers countless views into the surrounding environment, blurring earth and sky into a formless scene of nature.

This object was donated by Sou Fujimoto Architects. It is credited Photo by Iwan Baan.
