JESÚS RAFAEL SOTO
Est: CHF100,000 - CHF200,000
JESÚS RAFAEL SOTO (Ciudad Bolivar/Venezuela 1923–2005 Paris) Trois cercles noirs. 1996. Painted panel, wire, metal and silkscreen colour. Signed, dated and titled on the reverse: "TROIS CERCLES NOIRS" Soto 1996, also inscribed: HAUT. 85.5 × 102 × 16.5 cm. The certificate by the Soto Committee was not yet available at the time of going to press. Provenance: By descent to the present owner. "My investigations have nothing to do with the objects themselves. My painting tries to represent movement, vibration, light, space, time, things that exist but which do not have a determined form, and the only way I have found to do this is to attempt to represent the relationships between them." Jesús Rafael Soto The extraordinary art installation "Trois cercles noirs" from 1996 presents a captivating visual challenge. With its accomplished combination of different materials and colours, it offers the viewer an interactive experience within a unique world of optical illusions. Three complete black shapes as well as several suggested, half-finished circles, strokes and metal rods create the appearance of movement in this large-scale work. Since they are merely attached to the upper edge with wires and hang loosely, they give the appearance of floating. The weight of the metallic forms causes the wires to form parallel lines, reinforcing the impression of translocation and dynamism. With the fine white vertical lines on the black background, Jesús Rafael Soto also skilfully suggests visual depth. In the centre of the upper half of the somewhat smaller work "Carré et tes noirs" (lot 3430) from 1991, there is an eye-catching wooden square that clearly stands out from the white background and immediately attracts the viewer's attention. It radiates calm and order and may be interpreted as the central element of the artwork. The lower, narrower section, which probably serves as a counterpart, is black and decorated with fine white lines. T-shaped metal rods are attached to this black segment. Depending on your angle of vision or distance from the artwork, the lines and rods seem to oscillate, move or even vibrate optically. The art objects offered here are two outstanding examples of Soto's consummate ability to influence the viewer's visual and spatial perception. Experimenting with different elements, the artist encourages the viewer to examine the interactions between shapes, colours and materials and to explore the limits of visual perception. --------------- JESÚS RAFAEL SOTO (Ciudad Bolivar/Venezuela 1923–2005 Paris) Trois cercles noirs. 1996. Holz, farbig gefasst, Draht, Metall und Serigrafiefarbe. Verso signiert, datiert und betitelt: "TROIS CERCLES NOIRS" Soto 1996, sowie bezeichnet: HAUT. 85,5 × 102 × 16,5 cm. Das Zertifikat des Comité Soto lag bei der Drucklegung des Katalogs noch nicht vor. Provenienz: Durch Erbschaft an die heutigen Besitzer. "My investigations have nothing to do with the objects themselves. My painting tries to represent movement, vibration, light, space, time, things that exist but which do not have a determined form, and the only way I have found to do this is to attempt to represent the relationships between them." Jesús Rafael Soto Die aussergewöhnliche Kunstinstallation "Trois cercles noirs" aus dem Jahr 1996 stellt eine fesselnde visuelle Herausforderung dar. Mit der gelungenen Kombination verschiedener Materialien und Farben bietet sie dem Betrachter ein interaktives Erlebnis in einer einzigartigen Welt optischer Illusionen. Drei schwarze vollständige sowie mehrere angedeutete, halb fertige Kreise, Striche und Metallstäbe erwecken in diesem grossformatigen Werk den Anschein von Bewegung. Da sie lediglich mit Drähten am Oberrand befestigt sind und lose herabhängen, scheinen sie förmlich zu schweben. Das Gewicht der metallischen Formen bewirkt, dass die Drähte parallel verlaufende Linien bilden, was den Eindruck von Translokation und Dynamik verstärkt. Mit den feinen weissen vertikalen Linien auf dem schwarzen Hintergrund suggeriert Jesús Rafael Soto zudem gekonnt eine visuelle Tiefe. Im Zentrum der oberen Hälfte der etwas kleineren Arbeit "Carré et tes noirs" (Los 3430) aus dem Jahr 1991 ist ein augenfälliges Holzquadrat angebracht, das sich sichtlich vom weissen Hintergrund abhebt und unmittelbar die Aufmerksamkeit des Betrachters auf sich zieht. Es strahlt Ruhe und Ordnung aus und kann als zentrales Element des Kunstwerks interpretiert werden. Als Gegenpol dazu steht der untere, schmälere Teil, der in Schwarz gehalten und mit feinen weissen Linien verziert ist. Auf diesem schwarzen Segment sind T-förmige Metallstäbe angebracht. Je nachdem aus welchem Blickwinkel oder in welchem Abstand man das Kunstobjekt betrachtet, scheinen die Linien und Stäbe zu schwingen, sich zu bewegen oder sogar optisch zu vibrieren. Die hier angebotenen Kunstobjekte sind zwei herausragende Beispiele für Sotos meisterhafte Fähigkeit, die visuelle und räumliche Wahrnehmung des Betrachters zu beeinflussen. Der Künstler experimentiert mit verschiedenen Elementen und ermuntert den Beobachter dazu, die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Formen, Farben und Materialien zu erkunden und die Grenzen der visuellen Wahrnehmung zu erforschen. ---------------
