2023
A striking abstract composition by Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone, featuring a geometric interplay of teal, terra cotta orange, and muted mauve-grey — his signature palette drawn from landscape and natural cycles. The work depicts a half-circle rising from a horizontal divide, evoking a stylized sunrise or sunset motif consistent with Rondinone's ongoing engagement with time, nature, and meditative form. Presented in the artist's own natural wood frame, which functions as an integral part of the work. A unique work on canvas from 2023, the title translates from German as 'sixteenth of May two thousand and twenty-three,' referencing the specific date of creation — a characteristic titling method for the artist.
