The artwork titled “Menhir II” was created by Sheila Hicks in the year 1969. It belongs to the Minimalism art movement and is categorized as an installation piece.
The installation features numerous vertical elements suspended from the ceiling, each composed of long fibers that cascade downward, creating a forest-like appearance of hanging strands. These strands are meticulously arranged, their grayish tones contrasting with the bright yellow rods from which they hang. The fibers pool slightly on the floor, adding a textural and dimensional aspect to the overall piece. The minimalist design emphasizes simplicity and geometric form, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay of space, material, and structure within the installation.
