Intercircles
Erwin Hauer
Contemporary Art
The works in Erwin Hauer’s Continua in the Plane series, of which Intercircles is a part, exhibit a continuity of surface and a sense of potentially infinite expansion. The sculptural forms reveal themselves in various organic patterns as the viewer moves around the work. Although this is an independent piece of sculpture, leading architects and designers of the era, such as Edward Durell Stone, Florence Knoll, and Philip Johnson, incorporated similar works into their interiors as room dividers or light-diffusing walls.
