Eros
Eros consists of two pristine white Thassos marble forms that embody James Lee Byars's lifelong preoccupation with perfection, beauty, and philosophical inquiry. The luminous Greek marble, prized for its exceptional whiteness and fine crystalline texture, lends the work an ethereal, almost transcendent quality. Through the duality of two separate pieces, Byars evokes the ancient concept of Eros as both a primordial force and an intimate bond between distinct entities.
