Construction in Space with Balance on Two Points c. 1925 - 1967

Editor: So, this intriguing construction, "Construction in Space with Balance on Two Points," is a sculpture of sorts at Harvard Art Museums, but we don't know who created it or when. It's really captivating, like some kind of futuristic architectural model! How do you interpret this work? Curator: It's so cool, isn't it? I'm immediately drawn to its transparency. It's like the artist is playing with the idea of visibility and invisibility, presence and absence, all at once. And the title, "Balance on Two Points," hints at a precariousness, a tension held in delicate equilibrium. Do you think it achieves a sense of balance? Editor: I think so! There's this visual lightness to it that is captivating, and it makes you think about the nature of balance and form. Curator: Exactly! And maybe that’s the point. It's a reminder that even the most stable-looking structures can be surprisingly fragile. Editor: Well, I’ll definitely see that balance differently now!
