Reißobjekt 1972

"Reißobjekt" (1972) by German artist Oskar Holweck (1924-2007) is an example of Minimalist art, characterized by its use of simple, repetitive forms. The artwork features a white paper surface with rows of small, precisely cut holes that create an intricate pattern of light and shadow. The minimalist approach, emphasizing the process of creation and the materiality of the paper, invites viewers to engage with the subtle interplay of form and negative space. This piece showcases Holweck's exploration of geometric abstraction and his interest in the formal qualities of art.
