Microcosmos 1970

Martha Boto's 1970 sculpture "Microcosmos" is a minimalist work that features a clear acrylic box containing a series of silver spheres arranged on shelves and platforms. The sculpture's simplicity and geometric shapes are characteristic of Boto's work, which often explored the relationship between form and space. "Microcosmos" was created during a period of significant experimentation with materials and form in modern sculpture, and reflects the minimalist aesthetic that was gaining popularity at the time.
