“Pool V,” created by Tim Scott in 1971, is a sculpture that is part of the Post-Minimalism art movement. This artwork features clean lines, industrial materials, and a deliberate simplicity that is characteristic of its genre.
The sculpture is an abstract piece composed of both metal and transparent elements. It is defined by a horizontal, steel-like bar that is bisected by vertical components, some of which twist and curve in an almost ribbon-like manner. The transparent elements seemingly support and interact with the metal bars, providing a juxtaposition of solidity and transparency. This interaction creates a layered, three-dimensional effect. The materials and their arrangement convey a sense of balance and tension, emphasizing the harmony between the different elements. The overall aesthetic is both minimalist and dynamic, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between form, space, and material.
