For Marjorie (1977) received its name as a tribute to Marjorie Eisman, a self-described "close family friend of the Smith's." She explained that the original model for the sculpture was a gift to her from Smith in 1961.
Speaking about his sculpture, Smith said "This is more rational than it seems ... This piece fits within a tetrahedron." He noted that a number of his other works "scared" him with their "irrationality."
"There really isn't any significance [to the sculpture]," he claimed later. "That's just the way it hit me." He added that he didn't "want it to appear like a monument." - The Tech, Volume 97, Number 25
