The artwork titled “Line 1000 Meters Long” was created by Piero Manzoni in 1961 and is associated with the Conceptual Art movement. This installation piece is currently housed at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork features a cylindrical metal container with an inscription on the front that, in Italian, describes its content: a line that is one thousand meters long, executed by Piero Manzoni on July 24, 1961. The piece exemplifies the Conceptual Art movement’s focus on the idea behind the artwork rather than its physical manifestation. By encapsulating an intangible concept — a long line — within a tangible form, Manzoni invites the viewer to contemplate the nature of art and representation.
