Wandering Rocks 1967

"Wandering Rocks" (1967) is a monumental steel sculpture by American artist Tony Smith, known for its minimalist aesthetic and imposing scale. The work consists of five geometric forms, each with a unique shape and weight, positioned in a seemingly random arrangement within a landscape. The sculpture is an example of Minimalist art, exploring the relationship between form, space, and the viewer. The black, monolithic forms are deliberately devoid of surface detail, forcing the viewer to engage with their physical presence. Smith’s work was often inspired by his experiences in architecture and industrial design, as well as his interest in spatial perception.
