Metalliod Blue-Gray Without Oval Sculpture 1968

"Metalliod Blue-Gray Without Oval Sculpture" (1968) by Gianni Piacentino is a minimalist sculpture that consists of a rectangular form with a single oval cut-out. The simple, geometric design and the absence of any embellishment are characteristic of Minimalist art, which emphasizes form and materiality over representational content. The sculpture's flat, monochrome surface and the precise cutout create a sense of clarity and abstraction. The negative space within the oval shape draws the viewer's attention and invites contemplation. The work's title also reflects this focus on pure form and the artist's exploration of basic geometric elements.
