Indeterminate Line

Bernar Venet

Credit as documented: Bernar Venet

Indeterminate Line introduces an irregular curving form beside Denver's Colorado Convention Center. Bernar Venet's Corten-steel sculpture contrasts with the building's strong horizontal and angular architecture. The municipal account describes it as his first work at an architectural scale, emphasizing the apparent lightness of its curves despite the substantial material. It belongs to the artist's exploration of lines that resist predictable geometric definition.

Materials and construction

Denver dates the sculpture to 2004. Its explanation distinguishes the indeterminate line, developed in Venet's work from 1979, from the measured arcs associated with his other sculptures. That history describes the formal idea rather than a second creation date for this object. The reviewed municipal entry supplies no complete dimensional envelope.
