The famous Sphere by Arnaldo #Pomodoro is the work that has made the contemporary Italian artist famous throughout the world.
Today also in the collection of the #MoMA in New York.

☞ Do you know…

‣ This one in the picture is the “Number 1” in name but also in fact, being the #first of the series that the artist has long followed. The others may seem at first sight very similar because they represent the same subject but, to notice the difference, it’s enough to linger longer on the internal details of the various works that are always very different

‣ The concept of #art for the sculptor, in fact, is articulated mainly through the metaphor of a dual reality, that is to say the “smooth”, “polish”, apparently perfect exterior just like the bronze walls of its spheres and one, the inner one, in which gears and mechanisms seem to alternate in a complex endless #system
