Period and date

This is the penultimate work Vantongerloo realised. For this, he drew inspiration from astrophysical representations he either took from books or observed himself as a phenomenon with his telescope. Here, the orbits are represented by a spiral of metal wire, creating the cosmological space energetically activated by the objects. Together, they form the sum of void and volume.
