The artwork titled “Untitled (Sculptural Study, Six-part Construction) (detail)” is a creation by the artist Fred Sandback, dated 1977. This piece belongs to the Minimalism art movement and falls under the genre of sculpture.
The artwork exhibits Sandback’s characteristic use of minimalistic lines, creating a striking spatial arrangement with what appears to be black strings or wires that span from the ceiling to the floor in a clean, white-walled space. These linear elements intersect at right angles, forming geometric shapes and structures that challenge the viewer’s perception of three-dimensional space. The delicacy and precision of the lines generate an illusion of solid forms, drawing attention to the interplay between the physical and the implied, which is a hallmark of Sandback’s minimalist approach. The simplicity and elegance of the work emphasize the essence of minimalism: creating maximum impact through the least means.
