Abstract minimalist geometric sculpture in aluminum, 1970s
About the Item
Striking sculpture by Dutch artist Barbara Barry Verkaik (1929 - 1998). Intriguing and powerful sculpture in aluminum, full of movement.
In the 1970s dutch design and art became more strict and minimal with designs by Gijs Bakker and Aldo van de Nieuwelaar and art by Carel Visser.
This stunning piece is exemplary of that era: straight lines, clear use of material and no decoration. Altough the concept is simple: a geometric line, bent in diagonal lines, this sculpture is a sense of movement and an almost human-like shape.
What even more striking is the fact that this sculpture is made by the little known female artist Barbara "Barry" Verkaik, a rarity in the art world especially in that time. A stunning piece for any interior.
The piece is signed underneath.

- Minimalist Geometric Abstract Relief in Tonal Whites by Dutch ArtistLocated in AMSTERDAM, NLExpressive abstract relief in white by Dutch artist Henk van Putten (1936-2019) Van Putten called himself a constructivist in the tradition of Vladimir Tatlin, with whom he shared not only aesthetic principles but also social commitment. For example, almost everything he made in 3D is made up of several parts; glued, welded or screwed together. In his paintings, which he often made prior to the 3D version, he even painted the seams where they would appear in the later work. Van Putten’s work, although easily recognisable, shows a clear affinity with artists he admires such as André Volten, Gerrit Rietveld and more generally with ‘De Stijl’. Yet he made no contact with them; he felt much more like a kindred spirit of German artists, especially the ZERO movement whose members, like himself, were strongly involved in society. He befriends people like Egon Eppich and Hap Grieshaber...Category
