About the Item

This ca. 1965 abstract steel sculpture is reminiscent of Shinkichi Tajiri’s iconic "knot" motifs, reflecting themes of connection and tension. The interplay of looping and upright forms creates a sense of balance and movement, with the oxidized surface adding a raw, industrial texture. Measuring approximately 50 cm in height, the piece exudes a minimalist yet dynamic presence, evocative of mid-century European abstraction. The juxtaposition of solid and void invites contemplation of form and space, resonating with Tajiri’s explorations of universal symbols. This sculpture is a captivating artifact of 1960s modernism, blending structural precision with emotive abstraction, and is a testament to the enduring influence of sculptors who bridged cultural and artistic boundaries.
