The artwork titled “Roses” was created by Jannis Kounellis in 1998 and belongs to the Post-Minimalism art movement. It is categorized as an installation piece.
The artwork consists of an orderly arrangement of cylindrical forms that bear a striking resemblance to rolled up newspapers or similar materials. These elements are tightly coiled and placed in a grid-like pattern within a sturdy, rectangular framework. The coiled materials exhibit a variety of muted colors, with occasional splashes of red and orange providing a visual contrast. The overall presentation is industrial and methodical, reflecting Kounellis’ characteristic blending of raw materials and structured compositions.
