The artwork “Taken From the Wind…” was created by Lawrence Weiner in 2009. It belongs to the Conceptual Art movement and is classified within the figurative genre.
The artwork comprises textual elements displayed on a white wall, forming a visually engaging and thought-provoking piece. The phrase “TAKEN FROM THE WIND” is written in bold black letters, accompanied by a curved blue line below it, suggesting a dynamic, almost aerial element. Beneath this, the conjunction “&” is displayed with another smaller curved blue line. The lower part of the artwork consists of the phrase “BOLTED TO THE GROUND” also in bold black letters. The juxtaposition of the two statements, coupled with the use of minimalistic design, underscores Weiner’s conceptual exploration of linguistic and material contrasts.
