“Untitled (Wall Construction)” is a sculpture created by the artist Fred Sandback in 1985. This artwork falls within the Minimalism art movement and embodies the characteristic simplicity of the genre. It is a striking example of how minimalistic principles are applied to sculptural forms.
The artwork consists of minimalistic linear elements composed of colored yarn stretched tautly against a blank white wall. These linear forms create a dialogue of spatial perception, with lines intersecting and diverging at different angles, giving the impression of floating geometric shapes. The use of negative space and the simplicity of the materials emphasize the minimalist aesthetic, focusing on form, color, and spatial relationships. The wooden floor provides a grounding element, juxtaposing the suspended lines with a tangible, textured surface, enhancing the viewer’s perception of depth and dimension within the constructed environment.
