The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the Georgios Zongolopoulos foundation. Tectonic structure, use of large planes, aggressive appropriation of space, and an overall constructivist approach are the hallmarks of this important abstract sculpture from the 1960s. In 1968, four years after the artist's showing at the XXXII Venice Biennale, French art critic Denys Chevalier wrote of Zongolopoulos: 'With the purity and stripping down of his original idea, with the economy of expression and geometric rigor of his statements, he belongs to the first rank of contemporary artists who strive to create sculptures based not on fleeting trends but rather on something permanent, belonging to both the past and the future'.1 1.
