86.5° ARC x 8
2010
A monumental sculpture by Bernar Venet, *86.5° ARC x 8* presents eight massive steel arcs arranged in a dynamic, seemingly chaotic configuration that commands the surrounding space. The work reflects Venet's longstanding investigation into mathematical concepts and the formal properties of line, angle, and curve translated into raw industrial material. The arcs lean and intersect with a controlled tension, embodying the artist's signature balance between rigorous geometric logic and expressive physical force.
