Between the late 1960s and early 1970s, Nauman made several installations incorporating acoustic panel material (CR 170, 174, 196), as well as a number of works on paper related to these installations. This work on paper most closely relates to Acoustic Pressure Piece, 1971 (CR 196), first installed at Leo Castelli Gallery in the same year, and later acquired by the Panza Collection in 1975 and the Guggenheim via gift in 1991. At Castelli, Nauman “created a corridor of two rows of staggered, freestanding acoustic panels that extended diagonally across the full length of the front room of the gallery and continued through a large doorway into the second room, where it angled to the right.” This work on paper (Van Bruggen CR no. 124) may relate to an earlier iteration installed in the artist’s studio in 1969, which was comprised of a straight corridor formed by staggered acoustic panels.
