A monumental sculpture that extends to the ceiling in vaulted rooms up to 12 feet. Each side panel is painted various colors from a sky blue, to a bright lime green, to orange, and a sunny yellow. Heikoop's artwork has been described as "Linear sculpture with a balanced volume in a continuous organic form, without beginning, without end." There is a minimalist quality that speaks of the Conceptual movement in sculpture with artists such as Donald Judd. A visual statement in a modern or contemporary space. From a private collection. Dimensions: 142.75"h x 9.25"w x 8.5"d. In very good vintage condition. less
