The artwork, titled “Poetic Shelter,” was created by Lygia Clark in 1960. It belongs to the Neo-Concretism art movement and is classified as a sculpture.
The sculpture is composed of overlapping, curvilinear forms rendered in a dark, matte finish. These forms appear to interweave and stack upon one another, creating a dynamic interplay of sleek, minimalist shapes. The simplicity of the elements contrasts with their intricate arrangement, suggesting a sense of both harmony and tension. The artwork reflects the Neo-Concretist focus on the interaction between the object and the viewer, evoking an experiential engagement with space and form.
