Trenchant Sphere 1967

"Trenchant Sphere" (1967), by American sculptor Ruth Vollmer (1903-1982), is a captivating work of abstract art. This bronze sculpture consists of two pieces: a smooth, cylindrical bowl and a bisected sphere with a small base. The contrasting textures of the bowl's corrugated surface and the sphere's polished finish create a dynamic interplay, emphasizing the abstract forms. Vollmer's work is known for its minimalist aesthetic and exploration of geometric shapes, making "Trenchant Sphere" a fine example of her style.
