Negotiating Table is a sculpture which was made in 1991 as a response to the build up of events surrounding the Gulf War in the Middle East. Although the elliptical design of the table is loosely based on the conference table planned for the offices of the International Monetary Fund in Paris, the sculpture can be seen as an abstracted reference to currents of socio political idealism at times of international crisis.
