Direzione 1978

"Direzione" is a 1978 sculpture by Italian artist Giovanni Anselmo, known for his Minimalist and Conceptual works. This piece consists of a large, rough-hewn block of stone with a small metal disc embedded in its surface. The simplicity and directness of the materials and form are characteristic of Anselmo's art, which often explores themes of gravity, time, and the natural world. The sculpture's title, "Direction", suggests the stone's inherent potential for movement and the artist's intervention in its natural state. Anselmo's sculptures are widely recognized for their imposing presence and contemplation of fundamental concepts.
