Yaxchilán 1988

"Yaxchilán" is a 1988 sculpture by Mexican artist Gunther Gerzso (1915-2000). The work is constructed of flat, geometric shapes with an abstract, almost architectural quality, and is reminiscent of the artist's interest in pre-Columbian art. The sculpture's textured surface and muted tones lend it a sense of depth and complexity. The piece exemplifies Gerzso's signature style, characterized by a combination of geometric abstraction and organic forms. The use of different shapes and textures create a sense of movement and rhythm, making the artwork engaging and dynamic. It is a compelling example of his exploration of form and space.
