He always worked in a variety of media including sculpture, installation, painting and performance. This drawing comes from a collection given by the artist to the V&A in 1999. Through these drawings it is possible to trace the development, metamorphosis and recurrence of specific motifs in Neagu’s oeuvre (notably such ‘signature’ forms as the hyphen, the starhead, and the ‘subject generator’). Here, using postcards, Neagu has worked out options for siting and relating a version of his 'Endless Edge Hyphen' sculpture in various Austrian locations.","physicalDescription":"Three studies for 'hyphen' sculpture, each drawn on a postcard of Vienna [orchestra, city map, Schloss Schonbrunn], all attached to a support sheet.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Neagu, Paul","id":"A1932"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"ink","id":"AAT15012"},{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"}],"techniques":[{"text":"printing","id":"AAT53319"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Black ink on printed postcards, laid down on  paper","categories":[{"text":"Sculpture","id":"THES48896"},{"text":"Designs","id":"THES48968"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2007BR1821"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLD","id":"THES49658"},"free":"","case":"MD","shelf":"31","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"design","id":"AAT102051"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Europe","id":"x28842"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"Neagu was based in Romania and the UK throughout his life.
