“For Those Who Have Ears #2” is an arresting sculpture created in 1983 by Richard Deacon, an artist associated with the Post-Minimalism movement. This piece exemplifies Deacon’s explorations within the genre of sculpture, where he often manipulates materials into complex, fluid forms that challenge conventional understandings of space and structure.
The artwork features a series of looped, ribbon-like forms made from thin, linear materials that intertwine and intersect in a harmonious, yet intricate manner. The sculpture occupies the space with an airy, open quality, as the loops create a dynamic sense of movement and continuity. The materials used possess a distinct texture and color, adding to the overall visual interest of the piece. Deacon’s work invites the viewer to engage with the sculpture from multiple perspectives, enhancing the experience of its three-dimensional form and the intricacies of its construction.
