LDN – Offered in our 1 October #Design auction, ‘Cabinet de Curiosité’ is one of #ShiroKuramata’s many explorations into concepts of colour and transparency that culminated in his late-career use of acrylic. The work was among a group of coloured acrylic furniture and objects exhibited at the Galerie Yves Gastou in Paris during 1988. The medium allowed contortion of colour, line and form, realising a number of simultaneously discrete and interactive optical contrasts. The minimal physical footprint is disputed by the broad expanse of coloured light reflected onto the cabinet’s surroundings. This work and others on view at #PhillipsBSQ from 24 September.
