High Energy Bar and Certificate 1966

"High Energy Bar and Certificate" (1966) is a minimalist sculpture by Walter De Maria, known for his large-scale installations and focus on simple, geometric forms. This specific piece, a rectangular bar of stainless steel, exemplifies De Maria's interest in exploring the inherent qualities of materials and their relationship to space. The polished surface reflects light, creating a subtle interplay between the object and its surroundings. De Maria's work often challenges the traditional boundaries of sculpture, inviting viewers to engage with the work on a physical and conceptual level.
