- H.C. Westermann, W.W.I General, W.W.II General, W.W.III General, 1962
- Long The sculpture's three components are roughly balanced in size. The base is a thick, elongated oval. From the left end of the base, the propellor-like shape primarily splattered with red and yellow emerges vertically. On the base's right end, the brick-like shape tilts at a slight angle away from the propellor-like form. On this brick-like shape appears the phrase "W.W. 3 General" embossed into its surface, made more visible by the splatters of vivid color.
