The artwork, titled “Untitled,” was created by Jesus Rafael Soto around 1970. It belongs to the Kinetic Art and Op Art movements and is categorized as a sculpture.
In this piece, the artist employs optical illusion and movement to engage the viewer. The sculpture consists of a circular, flat surface with a central circular section featuring a mesh-like pattern that creates visual depth. A slender rod, half red and half black, is suspended vertically in front of the mesh, casting shadows that interact intriguingly with the background. The simplicity of the geometric forms and the minimalistic color palette emphasize the dynamic interplay between perception and reality, a hallmark of Kinetic Art and Op Art.
