The artwork titled “Spiegel,” created by the artist Isa Genzken in the year 1991, belongs to the art movement known as Conceptual Art and falls within the genre of sculpture.
The artwork depicts a large rectangular frame, almost resembling a doorway, constructed with metal. It stands prominently against an architectural backdrop of a modern building with a rounded facade composed of numerous windows. The sculpture’s significant height and minimalistic structure draw attention to its form and the space it encompasses, engaging viewers in contemplation of both the physical and metaphorical frames of perception. The use of industrial materials and the openness of the design are characteristic of Genzken’s exploration of contemporary urban environments and architectural aesthetics within her conceptual artistic practice.
