Centrifugal 1969

"Centrifugal" is a 1969 sculpture by American artist Fred Eversley. The artwork is made from a large, transparent, cast acrylic ring that has been bent and shaped. The unique form of the sculpture is reminiscent of a ring, yet it is subtly distorted. It demonstrates Eversley's interest in manipulating the properties of materials and exploring the interplay between light and form. The transparent nature of the sculpture allows viewers to interact with the artwork, as the light is reflected and refracted through the acrylic, creating a dynamic and ever-changing display of color. The artwork is a fine example of the "Light and Space" movement, a style that emphasizes the use of light and space in abstract forms.
