“2 Arcs x 4; 230.5 Degree Arc x 5, 1999″ by Bernar Venet (b. 1941)

These sculptures by Bernar Venet are precisely as described by the title… five beams of steel rolled into a 230.5 degree arc, plus two additional arcs — one 235.5 degrees, the other 232.5 degrees. Each is constructed of four beams of steel. Throughout his career, Venet works to redefine art and to separate hiimself from the idea that art is the expression of the artist. For him the most important element in a work of art is the concept or idea involved. In his recent work, Venet creates works based on mathematical graphs and formulas. In mathematics, Venet discovered a language of symbols that satisfied his desire to create an art that is non-expressive and not subject to personal interpretation. (Gateway Foundation)
