Specializing in Geometric Abstract Sculpture
Cubi Libre
Stainless Steel and Aluminum with Illusion Cherry Powder Coat
Description: This elegant and meticulously crafted sculpture is original in both composition and design – yet it presents a contemporary reimagining of the “Cubi” work by the Abstract Expressionist sculptor David Smith. This internationally
renowned sculptor coined the word “Cubi” for his most famous series of stainless steel sculptures between 1961 and 1965, shortly before his death.
Here, four cherry red cubes are suspended between the corners of four half cylindrical holes in the sculpture’s vertical frame. The sculpture’s repeated patterns and negative spaces form a continuous zigzag triangular frame with a textured random swirl finish and mirror polished edges. Each side of the sculpture’s four cubes is inscribed with 11/64” wide grooves forming 3X3 grids with nine cylindrical holes.
The sculpture’s structural strength and durable materials make it suitable for placement in a wide variety of inside and outside environments. Its kinetic feature is observed when the four cubes are touched by hand.
