Stall No. 5 2005

"Stall No. 5" (2005) by Francois Morellet is a minimal, conceptual piece featuring a single, glowing, neon circle. The simplicity of the work allows the viewer to contemplate the basic elements of form and light, highlighting the inherent beauty of geometric shapes. Morellet's use of neon, a material typically associated with commercial signage, challenges traditional art notions and recontextualizes it within a refined art context. This work is representative of Morellet's career-long investigation of geometric shapes and their effect on space and perception.
