Vertical Sense (Sentido Vertical)

Sculpture, metal, 12 x 3"

A maquette of an architectural piece at the Casa Rosen in Mexico City. This represents a form and style that Hofmann-Ysenbourg utilized for many of his architectural commissions in the early 1960s. While it may not be intentional, there is a distinct similarity between this design and some of the embroidery produced by Otomi and other indigenous Mexican artisans.

1963
