Marta Pan (Hungarian/French, 1923-2008)

“Floating Sculpture 3” 1969

Polyester resin, paint 226×226×113 cm, 183×70×183 cm

This red sculpture, floating on a pond set among lush greenery, does not appear to have been placed in the scenery so much as it has created new scenery. The smaller work glides across the surface of the water when the wind blows, drawing closer to and moving away from the larger one or changing its direction and appearing to enjoy a discourse with the carp that share its pond or with nature itself. If these shapes, with their rich variety, are inspected closely, it can be seen that the shape of the smaller work matches the hole in the larger. She also worked on numerous urban planning and public space projects.
