Linear Construction No. 1 1943

"Linear Construction No. 1" is a 1943 sculpture by Naum Gabo, a pioneering figure in Constructivism. The piece exemplifies the movement's emphasis on geometric forms and abstract design, constructed from translucent plastic threads arranged in a grid-like pattern. The intricate network of lines creates a sense of depth and movement, defying the sculpture's static form. This work, now on display at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, is a testament to Gabo's exploration of space and form through innovative materials.
