1st Sculpture 1963

"1st Sculpture" (1963) by Michael Bolus is a minimalist sculpture that consists of two simple geometric forms, a vertical rectangular plane and a horizontal tube. The piece was likely created in response to the minimalist art movement of the 1960s, which emphasized the reduction of form and color to their essentials. The sculpture's clean lines and abstract forms are a reflection of Bolus's interest in the principles of geometry and space, creating an effect that is both stark and elegant. The work can be found in the Tate Modern in London, UK.
