DescriptionEnio
Iommi explores the autonomy of line in space by combining industrial materials with
concrete structures. In this sculpture, he uses steel wire to draw two
contrasting lines: one that softly bends and curves into three open loops, and
one that maintains a more rectilinear configuration. As the viewer walks around
the work, the perceived interaction of these elements constantly changes, producing
multiple virtual configurations from various angles and perspectives.

ProvenanceThe artist; private collection, Buenos Aires, 1995–2002; [Aldo de Sousa Gallery, Buenos Aires, 2002–2015]; sold to MFAH, 2015.
