Pot Trivets

Salvatore Borrazzo

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a minimalist and abstract form composed of two connected elements that resemble bent, elongated legs with curled ends. The structure is made from a material that has a metallic appearance, likely iron or steel, and exhibits a greyish color and rough texture. The sculpture stands unsupported, implying a sense of balance and elegance in its design. With its open and airy appearance, the sculpture appears to be a delicate yet sturdy construction that engages with the surrounding space. The sculpture's design presents varying lines and curves, offering an organic yet mechanical aesthetic.
