The Ball No. 2 1971

"The Ball No. 2" (1971) is a minimalist sculpture by American artist Agustin Cardenas (1927-2001). The work is carved from white marble and depicts two rounded forms, partially separated, creating a sense of tension and balance. The simple, geometric shapes and smooth, polished surface are characteristic of Cardenas' abstract sculptures, which often explore themes of form, space, and the relationship between the object and the viewer.
