NAHUM TEVET | ORANGE STILL LIFE WITH MAGNET AND NO

Purchased directly from the artist by the present owner

"Tevet creates complexity in his sculpture by fragmenting the linear passage of the viewer's experience and multiplying the codes or levels of meaning to which the particular work alludes. Thus a single element often functions in a number of different ways, looking radically different from different points of view, referring to other art such as Constructivism and Minimalism, and drawing on the ordinary experience of furniture." (Michael Newman in Nahum Tevet: Skulpturen, 1986, p. 8). Newman further notes that Tevet's "sculpture is accretive rather than reductive, made by adding rather than taking away, It is generous to the viewer, providing a complex multi-levelled and continuously surprising experience." (Ibid, p. 17).
