Deux Arcs 233.5°. 1980.
Steel with patina.
The title of the work is stamped at the top center and in bottom right. Unique object. 93 x 84 x 20 cm (36.6 x 33 x 7.8 in). [KA].
• Unique work.
• Rigorous geometry with sculptural weight: In his steel arches, Venet explores aspects of space, time, and movement.
• Beginning in the 1980s, he developed his world-famous monumental steel sculptures based on circular arc segments and ring forms.
• In 1977, the artist was represented at documenta 6 in Kassel, as well as at the Venice Biennale in 1978 and 2009.
• Venet is one of the world's most exhibited contemporary sculptors, with works in public spaces in Austin, Texas; Paris; Tokyo; Geneva; and Toulouse, among other locations.
The work is registered in the artist’s archive under the inventory number “bv80ss1.”
We are grateful to the Studio Bernar Venet for the kind assistance.

"My sculptures are the story of their making and of the resistance of the metal. A test of strength and a struggle carried out between the steel bar and myself."
Bernar Venet, quoted from: Exhibition catalog Bernar Venet au Champ-de-Mars, Paris, 1993, p. 39.
