2022
A perfect cube cast in aluminum, this untitled 2022 work by Alice Könitz distills the artist's longstanding fascination with material transformation into a single, compact object. Measuring just 12.7 centimeters on each side, the piece carries a deceptive intimacy, its modest scale inviting close inspection while the industrial weight and cool surface of the metal assert an understated authority. Könitz has long worked at the intersection of the domestic and the sculptural, drawing raw material from foraged plant matter, recycled household remnants, and the overlooked byproducts of everyday life. This aluminum form can be understood as a crystallization of that impulse, translating the cycles of consumption and renewal that define her studio practice into a geometry that feels simultaneously resolved and open-ended. Signed by the artist, the work arrives without a frame or mount, asking collectors to contend with it as a freestanding object in the fullest sense, something to be placed, handled, and reconsidered over time. The cube as a form carries a rich lineage within minimalist and conceptual traditions, yet Könitz sidesteps pure formalism by grounding her process in materials with genuine biographical and ecological provenance. Available through the Armory Arts Benefit Auction and sourced from Pasadena, California, this piece represents an accessible entry point into a body of work that continues to gain critical recognition. It is accompanied by the imprimatur of Commonwealth and Council, the Los Angeles gallery that has championed Könitz's practice.
