Jo Niemeyer "Reuleaux Triangle" (2009/2024)

This wall sculpture embodies the geometric concept developed by 19th-century German engineer Franz Reuleaux. The Reuleaux triangle, formed by the intersection of three circular arcs, possesses the unique property of constant width. Niemeyer, whose artistic exploration of the Golden Ratio spans over five decades, utilizes this form to elegantly express this mathematical principle.
 
Crafted from hand-painted acrylic on canvas and car lacquer on HDF, this hand-signed and numbered sculpture is limited to an edition of 15. Measuring 60 x 52 x 3.5 cm, it can be easily wall-mounted or displayed on a tabletop. The sculpture is shipped in a protective crate.
