Footnote: After completing his studies at the National School of Fine Arts in Argentina in 1959, Spanish born sculptor, Francisco Sobrino, relocated to Paris to commence his professional career. Shortly after his arrival, Sobrino co-founded the Groupe de Recherche d'Art Visuel (GRAV), whose members included François Morellet, Julio Le Parc and Yvaral. Today he is remembered as an influential figure in the field of opto-kinetic art. Commenting on his choice of materials, Sobrino noted, “The use of Plexiglas gives birth to manifold plays of light”. Indeed, the present lots reflect Sobrino’s enduring preoccupation with light, space and the relationship between art and science.
