Description
'Steel Sphere 1' is a piece of so called Concrete Art.
Concrete Art was introduced by Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg in 1930. He stated that there was nothing more concrete or more real than a line, a colour, or a simple area of colour.
Swiss artist Max Bill later became the flag bearer for concrete art and organized the first international exhibition in Basle (1944). He stated that the aim of concrete art is to create ‘in a visible and tangible form things which did not previously exist – to represent abstract thoughts in a sensuous and tangible form’.
Related art movements are Constructivism and Op Art. Geometrical and mathematical structures are main sources for the often big and striking artwork.
There is a museum of constructive and concrete art in Zurich (Haus Konkret), a museum for concrete art in Ingolstadt and a more than impressive collection in the Wurzburg Kulturspeicher.
