“Early One Morning” is a major example of the sculpture that established Caro as the leading young sculptor of the 1960s. The arrangement of planes and lines along a horizontal axis liberated the creation of different rhythms and configurations. With no fixed visual identity and no single focal point the work unfolds and expands into the viewer’s space, its appearance changing with the viewpoint.
