"A sheet containing twenty-one studies for constructions of similar size and kind arranged in three equal rows. They form a set of variations, which is one of the abiding features of Klippel's art as sculptor and draughtsman. Another distinctive characteristic is the regular placement of related designs to form an all-over pattern, making the whole something greater than the sum of its parts." (James Gleeson, Robert Klippel, Bay Books, Sydney, 1983, p. 433)
