El Maiz is a series of modern abstract sculptures by Édgar Negret as an interpretation of the maize, or corn. The sculptures, which are all in the same design and production year, vary in color, material, and size. The sculptures are more commonly found in yellow which is also the most common color
for the corn crop; however, some were painted purple and red which are also natural colors in which the maize crop can be found in.
