Cubi is a series of stainless steel sculptures that are made up of cubes, rectangular solids and cylinders with spheroidal or flat endcaps. This series of 28 sculptures was the last of the artistic output of the American sculptor David Smith. On May 23rd, 1965, David Smith died from injuries sustained in an automobile accident, soon after the completion of Cubi XXVIII, which may or may not have been the last sculpture in this series he intended to create. Smith's assistant, Leon Pratt, did complete several sculptures that were underway at the time of Smith's death; however, none of these sculptures were from the Cubi series.
