245 - BERNAR VENET (BORN IN 1941)

BERNAR VENET (BORN IN 1941) Straight-Oblique Lines, 1996 Oil pastel drawing Signed, titled, and dated lower right 47.5 x 59.5 cm PROVENANCE Karsten Greve Gallery, Paris, 1996. We thank the Bernar Venet Archives for kindly informing us that this work is listed in their archives under inventory number bv96d48. With *Straight-Oblique Lines* (1996), Bernard Venet continues his exploration of mathematical forms in space. The work, seemingly simple, creates a tension between geometric rigor and sculptural presence. Simply by tilting a line, Venet introduces imbalance and momentum, transforming an abstract principle into a vibrant physical presence.
