La plate-bande 1988

"La plate-bande" is a 1988 sculpture by French artist François Morellet. The artwork, a simple geometric construction, is characterized by its minimalist form. It is a large, white triangular frame, situated amidst a natural environment, creating a stark contrast between the straight lines of the structure and the organic forms of the surrounding trees. The sculpture embodies Morellet's signature style of geometric abstraction, focusing on basic shapes and lines to provoke contemplation of the space around it. The piece invites viewers to consider the relationship between nature and human-made structures and how they interact within the landscape. This Minimalist sculpture utilizes the natural environment to draw attention to its design.
