Untitled

Jesús Rafael Soto · 1959-60

This is an untitled construction by Soto from around nineteen sixty, in wood, painted wood, metal and nails. He was building toward the suspended works nearby, in which the object stops being a thing to look at and becomes something that changes as you cross in front of it.
