Est: $10,000 - $15,000
Nobuo Sekine (b. 1942, Japanese) "Phase Conception: Spanish Window," 1991 Mixed media with gold leaf on paper under Plexiglas Signed, sub-titled in Japanese, dated, and numbered on an artist's label affixed verso: N. Sekine / G50-131 46" H x 36" W Notes: The sculptor Nubuo Sekine was an early participant in the Mono-ha movement, which sought to criticize and counter the rapid development and industrialization taking place in Tokyo and other large cities through work that emphasized the relationship between natural and industrial materials. Works from Sekine's "Phase Conception" series, which are often made with gold leaf, was influenced by the concept of "phase" in topology -- a subset of mathematics and physics that aims to relate abstract space to connectedness. Often inspired by the architecture and urban spaces he encountered in Asian and European cities. The abstract designs found in Sekine's work show similarities to the shapes and forms found in buildings such as the Hang Nga Guesthouse in Vietnam, as well as the Casa Batllo by Antoni Gaudi located in Barcelona.
