About the Item

This solid wood sculpture, commissioned by the city of The Hague, evokes architecture with its stacked geometric blocks reminiscent of a model for an apartment building. Created in the 1980s, the work reflects the influence of Constructivism and De Stijl, movements known for their stark forms, right angles, and intersecting lines. De Stijl practitioners like Gerrit Rietveld drew heavily from architecture and urban planning, seeking to integrate art into everyday structures. Similarly, post-war Dutch Constructivists such as Bob Bonies, Peter Struycken, Jan Schoonhoven, Ad Dekkers, and Joost Baljeu aimed to build a new society through art’s fusion with architecture and design. Echoing the minimalist and abstract principles of artists like Carl Andre this sculpture emphasizes line, plane, form, and color as autonomous forces of expression, embodying a shared vision of modernist abstraction.
