Bernar Venet — Arcs in Disorder: 83.5 Degree Arc x 14
Bernar Venet

Arcs in Disorder: 83.5 Degree Arc x 14

A monumental sculpture by Bernar Venet, *Arcs in Disorder: 83.5 Degree Arc x 14* presents a dynamic tangle of massive steel arcs that appear simultaneously chaotic and mathematically precise. The work reflects Venet's signature exploration of mathematical and geometric concepts translated into large-scale three-dimensional form, with each arc defined by a specific angular measurement. The overlapping, interlocking curves create a sense of controlled disorder, embodying the tension between systematic structure and expressive freedom.
