Bernar Venet is a French conceptual artist renowned for his geometric, often large-scale sculptures that explore the boundaries between art, mathematics, and philosophy. His works are deeply rooted in the language of mathematics, especially in the fields of geometry and calculus. Venet is particularly well-known for his arcs, which often appear as monumental, sweeping structures.

218.5 Arc x 13" from 2007 reflects Bernar Venet's ongoing exploration of arc-like forms and their symbolic relationship to mathematical theory and industrial materials. By using rolled steel and giving the material a patina, Venet creates a visually striking and intellectually stimulating work that is both industrial and abstract.

American, born 1927.
