About the Item
Abraham Palatnik (1928–2020)
"Drop" Sculpture, c. 1960
This rare "Drop" sculpture by Abraham Palatnik, created circa 1960, exemplifies the artist’s pioneering role in kinetic and optical art in Brazil. Crafted in translucent polyester resin, the droplet-shaped form encapsulates Palatnik’s exploration of light, transparency, and visual rhythm. Its layered internal structure plays with perception, creating a subtle illusion of movement as the viewer changes perspective.
Known for merging art, science, and technology, Palatnik developed innovative techniques using industrial materials to create immersive visual experiences. The Goutte series is among his most iconic sculptural explorations—poetic, minimal, and deeply experimental.
A rare collector’s piece, emblematic of Palatnik’s legacy at the intersection of design and kinetic abstraction.
