The artwork titled “Model for ‘Rotating Fountain'” was created by Naum Gabo in 1925. It is an installation piece associated with the Kinetic Art movement.
The artwork is an intricate and dynamic composition featuring a central structure comprised of geometric, semi-transparent yellow planes. These planes are delicately balanced within a circular frame, suggesting motion and fluidity, characteristic of Kinetic Art. This central element seems to be suspended and designed to rotate, reflecting the concept of a fountain in perpetual motion. The base is supported by sturdy legs, enhancing the overall stability and presentation of the piece. Naum Gabo’s work exemplifies the blend of engineering and artistry that defines Kinetic Art, capturing both the mechanical precision and aesthetic allure of his installation.
