Max Bill (Swiss, 1908-1994)

“Pavilion Sculpture” 1969

White granite 252×252×252 cm

Max Bill studied at the Bauhaus and is said to be one of the last of the Bauhaus. His construction principles were based on thorough mathematics. As the word "pavilion" in the name suggests, the viewer is actually able to enter Pavilion Sculpture and the interior was created as part of a series of works aimed at producing a peaceful sculpture. Consisting of 12 granite blocks stacked to create a simple cube, this stable, massive form does not attempt to make some strident appeal, but instead presents a basic, reduced aesthetic form.
