(Ciment armé n°31)
1961
This artwork is exemplary of a form of Italian Minimalism.
The Cementi armati sculpture series, developed by Giuseppe Uncini between 1957 and 1963 consists of blacks of cement where the framework is visible. It is organised around a geometric star shape that runs through a thick cement base, marked with the print of the wooden formwork and the tight weave of a metal mesh. The work has a dual nature: sculptural by its matter, and pictorial by its mural position, rectangular format and the presence of a frame, formed by a cement border.
