A beautiful unique sculpture by Dutch sculptor, installation and light artist Jan van Munster (1939-2024). A metal or steel version also exists, but this was produced in an edition of 25, and one was offered at auction.
Dimensions:
Plus - H 8 cm x W 8 cm x D 8 cm.
Minus - H 8 cm x W 8 cm x D 3 cm.
"Plus Minus / Minus Plus" is made of cast glass, one side of which is glossy and the other side sandblasted.
This artwork includes the original wooden crate, which is branded on the front with + -, his name and year handwritten in pencil in block letters as “v. Munster '90”, and on the inside his signature with a stamp “Certificate” and handwritten in pencil AP, which stands for Artist Proof / Épreuve d'Artiste.
Both glass sculptures have imperfections on the outer edges, which is likely due to the processing of the glass, resulting in irregularities such as fleabites and chips.
The central theme in Van Munster's oeuvre is energy in all its forms. Phenomena such as temperature, the power of the sun, magnetism, radioactivity, and electricity were not only physical principles to him, but also tensions and contrasts, for example between heat and cold. He visualizes his works in clear geometric forms. Van Munster's artworks can often be seen in public spaces, for example in the Netherlands and Germany.
From February 4, 2028, to August 27, 2028, there will be an exhibition at the Beelden aan Zee museum 'Jan van Munster': https://www.beeldenaanzee.nl/tentoonstellingen/jan-van-munster.
