Untitled 1970

This untitled sculpture, created by Amilcar de Castro in 1970, is a prime example of Minimalist art, a movement that emerged in the 1960s. Castro's work is characterized by its geometric forms and simple, yet powerful, aesthetic. The sculpture consists of two large, rusted metal plates arranged in a distinctive A-shape. The raw material and the minimalist form invite viewers to contemplate the essential nature of sculpture and its relationship to space. The sculpture's placement in front of a modern building further highlights the starkness of the piece and its dialogue with the surrounding environment.
