Indeterminate Line

Bernar Venet

Venet initially created works based on strict mathematics, geometric angles and arcs. In a contrasting development, he later began a series based on randomly created lines, somewhat Dadaist in conception, investigating intuitive rather than rational thought. As with other sculptures in Venet’s Indeterminate Lines series, this work was improvised first in a sketch on the artist’s studio floor.
