Cross Race 1 (H.R.V.F.W.) 2000

"Cross Race 1 (H.R.V.F.W.)" (2000) by Italian artist Gianni Piacentino (1945-present) is a minimalist sculpture composed of steel bars forming a simple cross shape. Piacentino is known for his sculptural exploration of geometric forms, often referencing the human body, as seen in the elongated vertical element. This work's title suggests a connection to the concept of race and identity, adding a layer of complexity to the otherwise simple form.
