Smith, Tony

Tony Smith is considered one of the most important pioneers of minimalism; his works are often most simple combinations of geometric forms. And yet, upon closer inspection, his black sculptures certainly do justice to the title of the work of art, as can be seen, for example, in the “Wandering Rocks” or the stretched work “The Snake is Out”. And doesn’t the massive “Gracehoper” actually look like a grasshopper, even though the artist probably deliberately put the name together from the elements “Grace” and “Hope”?
