"Sphere - Matter" (1962) is a striking sculpture by French artist Francois Morellet. Constructed from a grid of metal rods, the artwork forms a spherical shape, its simple geometry playing with light and shadow as the viewer circles it. Morellet, known for his explorations of geometric forms and optical effects, creates an engaging piece that invites contemplation of the interaction between matter and space. This minimalist sculpture demonstrates Morellet's dedication to abstraction and his ability to imbue geometric shapes with visual dynamism.
