Richard Serra
American · b. 1938

Serra similarly works with large scale steel sculptures that explore geometric form and spatial relationships through industrial materials. His monumental monochromatic steel works share Venet's commitment to minimalist abstraction and the physical language of angles and planes.

Donald Judd
American · b. 1928

Judd's minimalist sculptures explore precise geometric forms and mathematical relationships using industrial materials, closely paralleling Venet's conceptual approach to form and structure. Both artists reduce sculpture to its essential geometric logic with an emphasis on clean monochromatic surfaces.

Joel Shapiro
American · b. 1941

Shapiro creates abstract steel sculptures that investigate angular geometric configurations and spatial tension in ways that resonate strongly with Venet's exploration of acute angles and mathematical form. His work shares the same interest in how rigid geometric elements interact dynamically in three dimensional space.
