Bernar Venet — 79.5° Arc x 9
Bernar Venet

79.5° Arc x 9

2010

A monumental sculpture by Bernar Venet, *79.5° Arc x 9* presents nine large-scale steel arcs arranged with a sense of controlled disorder, embodying the artist's rigorous mathematical approach to form. The sweeping curved lines command space with raw industrial presence, transforming geometric precision into dynamic physical experience. Venet's signature exploration of angles and arcs challenges the boundary between scientific abstraction and expressive sculptural energy.
