X-Act 1964

"X-Act" (1964) is a striking example of minimalist sculpture by British artist David Annesley. The work, currently housed at the Tate Modern, is composed of geometric shapes that are made of metal and painted in a monochrome palette. Its stark and simple form creates a sense of balance and tension, inviting viewers to consider the relationship between the individual components and the overall structure. Annesley's work challenges traditional notions of sculpture, focusing on pure form and its spatial relationships rather than representational imagery.
