"Milkstone" (1987) by German artist Wolfgang Laib is a minimalist sculpture made of a square slab of white marble. Laib is known for his use of natural materials, and this piece exemplifies his interest in the simple beauty of everyday objects. The smooth, cool surface of the marble invites viewers to touch and experience the materiality of the artwork. The simplicity of "Milkstone" allows the viewer to focus on the texture, color, and form of the marble, creating a contemplative and meditative experience.
