The Sun, the Moon and the Stars II
1956

A three-dimensional abstract metal sculpture consisting of various welded iron rods and elements, some twisted and curved, creating a chaotic yet structured composition against a white background. The sculpture features a prominent circular form in the upper left corner and is framed by a rectangular metal outline. The metal surfaces show signs of oxidation and wear, contributing to the artwork's textured and industrial aesthetic.
