About the Item

"Outline" – (1983) an impressive light sculpture by Aldo van den Nieuwelaar that represents fundamental and systematic design; using standard fluorescent light tubes as its building blocks, this luminary masterpiece turns abstract concepts into a tangible display of radiant light. Inspired by the art movements of De Stijl and the Bauhaus in the sixties, van den Nieuwelaar set out to design light objects intricately connected to minimal and constructivist art. The "Outline," is a testament to van den Nieuwelaar's precision and dedication to a three-dimensional grid - It eliminates arbitrary decisions, while sticking to a strict geometric logic. Condition: Good vintage condition, fully functional. Signs of age according to the images. Origination: The Netherlands, 1980s, labelled by manufacturer, Nilla Lights. Materials: Acrylic, plastic, fluorescent light tubes Approximate Dimensions: Height: 124cm Width: 124 cm Depth: 9 cm
