From private collection, this kinetic sculpture was acquired in 1978. Height approx. 4.5 meters, spatial spread approx. 6.5 meters, steel.
this impressive and contemplative work of art adorned a collector’s private park on the beautiful Island of Ré in the Atlantic ocean for years. Made entirely of steel, the pendulums begin to swing in even the slightest summer breeze.
We’ve included a short video here, so it’s best to get an impression of the sensation for yourself. The sheer height and spatial spread are fascinating, you can walk along under the mobile.
It is difficult to find words for this piece, in the end the overwhelming effect only becomes apparent when you really stand in front of it!
The reddened stand itself measures 230cm in height and spreads out on the floor to approx. 120cm - the middle balance bar, which sits completely rotatable, measures 360cm, the floats attached to each side have an extension of approx. 200cm to 180cm - they are perfectly balanced!
The mobile consists of 4 parts and can easily be set up by 2 people and 2 ladders, the total weight is estimated at 200 to 280kg.
