About the Item

British sculptor Robert Marsden (b. 1947), once described by the late art critic Mel Gooding as ‘belonging to that specifically modernist type of the sculptural architectonic,’ focuses deeply on spatial relationships — how one form sits in tension with another. That enquiry is distilled into something unusually intimate with ‘Composition No. 3’. Best known for large-scale outdoor and interior works such as ‘Stark Reality’ or ‘A Temporary Measure’, Marsden here offers a kind of tabletop microcosm — a rare glimpse into his process of thinking and making. On the left, a sinuous, curved form stays slightly suspended. A rigid rectangle and an architectonic frame sit beside it. Then space. Finished by a triangular form in a contrasting patina, as if split, or casting a shadow of itself. All forms are grounded by a subtly tapered rectangular base.
