Sculptural Arcade Console, Italy, 1980s

Built around one of architecture’s oldest forms, the arch, this monumental console compresses centuries into a single object. Its rhythm recalls the permanence of classical architecture while its reductive geometry belongs unmistakably to the postmodern imagination. Echoing the metaphysical stillness of Giorgio de Chirico, it exists outside a single period, allowing antiquity and modernity to coexist with remarkable ease.
