Archive for One Sculpture: Untitled, Rockne Krebs, 1968

Aluminum and light reflective tape, 154” H x 154” W x 120” D

“One is a room-activating composition of aluminum triangles… For the viewer feels as if Krebs has discovered something as monumentally simple as the triangle or the space within a room. It is this simplicity, rather than the shifting richness that swirl about it, that persists in the viewer’s memory… Krebs has written that he likes “the emptiness” of rooms, that he wants “the six planes that form the urban interiors through which our bodies move” to form the armatures for the sculpture that he makes.” Washington Post, Paul Richard, Restraint Enhances Young Washington Artist’s Sculptures, 1968.
