Collection Highlight
Enio Iommi joined the Association of Concrete Art and Invention as a teenager and participated in its activities until the group dissolved in 1950. Línea continua exemplifies three key aspects of Iommi’s work: the rational approach to geometry promoted by the Association, a fascination with shaping space, and the use of newly available industrial materials. Here Iommi made a loose knot from stainless steel rod to convey the sense of an endless Möbius strip moving through three-dimensional space.
