About the Artist
The Naum Gabo Estate manages the artistic legacy of Naum Gabo (1890–1977), a towering figure in the development of Constructivism and Kinetic Art. Born in Russia, Gabo became a key theorist and practitioner of constructivist principles, advocating for art that embraced modern industrial materials and explored the dynamic properties of space, time, and movement. He is celebrated for his groundbreaking transparent and kinetic sculptures, which often incorporated plastics, metal, and tensioned lines to create forms that emphasize volume and rhythm rather than solid mass. Gabo's work profoundly influenced 20th-century sculpture, challenging traditional notions of form and material to explore the invisible forces and dimensions of the modern world.
