Indeterminate Line

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Title: Indeterminate Line

Lead Artist(s):
Bernar Venet

Description:

Indeterminate Line, by French born artist Bernar Venet, stands 33 feet tall, weighs 20 tons/40,000 pounds, and is one of the most beautiful manifestations of Venet’s work. There is nothing arbitrary about the sculpture. Belying the considerable bulk of the artwork, its curved forms and apparent lightness stand in complementary contrast to the angular, horizontal and linear forms of the Colorado Convention Center. The sculpture was manufactured in Hungary out of Cor-ten steel, where it was cut in pieces, shipped to Denver, and reassembled. The artwork was sand-blasted and coated with a light acid to promote a natural rusted patina.
