Art Basel 2013: The Changing Worlds of Sculpture. Transportive and transformative, the following six sculptural pieces found at this year's Art Basel push the boundaries of the medium and its definition within art.
Chaotic, thoughtful and sometimes even funny, each work manages to bring a new world into our own. In a striking display, Jaume Plensa's "Lilliput" series (2012) suspended painted bronze and steel sculptures from the ceiling with thin, clear wire. Each ornate, almost human-form construct, appeared at times to float in air, while spinning slowly. This Galerie Lelong presentation masterfully matched sculptural aesthetics of the past with an entirely new energy. News / Underdogs. Joshua Liner Gallery. Ivory and Black. Artists. Adel Abdessemed.
