Ligne indéterminée
1989
Bernar Venet
Works on paper
184 x 154 cm
Venet began his exploration of “indeterminate lines” in 1979. Initially based on simple mathematical formulas, the sculptor focused on the indeterminacy of curves and silhouettes. A sense of spontaneity seems to guide the line, giving it a lightness and movement as if it could extend infinitely. The drawing presented here is a two-dimensional transcription of a monumental sculpture.
Born in 1941 in Château-Arnoux-Saint-Auban, France
French artist Bernard Venet is renowned for his sculptures of arcs, angles, straight lines, and indeterminate lines. From the early 1960s, he experimented with materials such as coal and tar, incorporating sciences and mathematical language into his creations. In 1966, after settling in New York, he became one of the pioneers of conceptual art.
