Édgar Negret — Estrella Amarilla
Édgar Negret

Estrella Amarilla

"Estrella Amarilla" by Colombian sculptor Edgar Negret is a striking construction of painted aluminum modules assembled into a dynamic, star-like form that radiates outward with geometric precision. The bold yellow surface enhances the work's energetic presence, reflecting Negret's signature approach of transforming industrial materials into poetic, almost mythical structures. This piece exemplifies his ability to bridge abstraction and symbolism, evoking cosmic imagery through the elegant interlocking of mechanical components.
