Model for 'Construction in Space 'Two Cones'' 1927

This model by Russian constructivist artist Naum Gabo, created in 1927, is a study for his monumental sculpture "Construction in Space "Two Cones". It is a prime example of his artistic style, known as Constructivism, which embraces the use of geometric forms and industrial materials to create a minimalist and abstract aesthetic. The sculpture's construction, built from clear plastic and black wire, emphasizes form and space, and its translucent quality allows light to play on the surfaces, adding a sense of dynamism and weightlessness. Gabo's works were a significant departure from traditional art forms, pushing the boundaries of sculpture and influencing later artists like Anthony Caro and Donald Judd.
