Spatial Construction, 1942-45

"The open wire or the open space where the voids were greater than the masses was the culmination point of free, almost unfettered, pure space construction."

[Theodore Roszak Interview with Elliott, February 13, 1956, p.31]

This was the last of the constructions and the transitional piece into welded sculpture. 

Roszak was aware of the metal work of Naum Gabo (Pevsner) from the Bauhaus in Germany and of Julio Gonzalez from a show at the MOMA.
