Walking Ball 1959

"Walking Ball" is a 1959 sculpture by American artist Ruth Vollmer (1903-1982). The sculpture is crafted from a dark, seemingly rough material and appears to depict an abstract form with an undefined purpose, evoking a sense of organic movement and the potential for walking. This piece exemplifies Vollmer's exploration of abstract forms and her ability to imbue them with a sense of life and motion. The sculpture's dynamic form and the rough texture of its material suggest a connection to nature, highlighting a central theme in Vollmer's artistic practice.
