Entitled “The 2000 Sculpture,” this artwork by Walter De Maria, created in 1992, exemplifies the Minimalism art movement and belongs to the genre of installation art.
“The 2000 Sculpture” consists of an extensive arrangement of carefully spaced geometric forms that meticulously cover the floor of a vast, well-lit room. The forms, reminiscent of parallelepipeds, are uniformly white, contributing to a sense of visual rhythm and order. The room itself is characterized by its expansive white walls and high ceiling, further enhancing the minimalist aesthetic. This installation demands the viewer’s engagement, inviting contemplation on spatial relationships and the purity of form.
