Ib Geertsen
If you talk about art that moves, about actual movement in art, you are talking about mobiles. But you cannot talk about mobiles without talking about Ib Geertsen. A significant part of Ib Geertsen’s oeuvre has become synonymous with light, independently balanced sculptures of wire and the like, that float as drawings in the room where they have been hung. Geertsen calls them ‘drawings in the air’, because this is what they are. He first started making these three-dimensional ‘drawings’ around 1950. Through the next half century he has developed this unique type of drawing, which has ancestors in both painting and sculpture.

James Rosenquist. Painting Below Zero: Notes on a Life in Art. “Frank, funny, truthful, ironic and in every way an entertaining account of one major American artist’s involvement in an art movement that interests everyone–and, more than that, of his own character. Jim Rosenquist is a true American original and his book ought to be read by anyone who wants to understand the last half-century of his country’s visual culture, high, low, and in between.” –Robert Hughes, amazon Iranian Photography Now, Phaidon Art, Parkett Magazine. |
