Konkav gerundet 1973

"Konkav gerundet" (1973) is a minimalist sculpture by German artist Rupprecht Geiger (1908-2009). The sculpture consists of a large, smooth, gray oval shape, positioned on a low base. The simplicity of the form and its smooth surface invite contemplation and play with the viewer's perception of space. The piece is a prime example of Geiger's exploration of geometric shapes and their impact on the surrounding environment. The title, which translates to "concave rounded," alludes to the subtle curvature of the sculpture and its interaction with light and shadow. The sculpture's stark simplicity invites the viewer to engage with its form and its relationship to the surrounding environment, inviting a contemplative experience.
