Adolf Luther (1912 - 1990)
Large hanging lens

Semi-transparent mirrored glass lens, convexly curved, acrylic glass, hard plastic frame. Diameter 60 cm.

The German artist Adolf Luther is one of the leading figures in light and object art. His work focuses not on the classical art object, but on the phenomenon of light itself, which he understands as a creative material. His so-called 'hanging lenses' consist of transparent glass or plastic elements that are freely installed in space. These lenses focus, refract, and multiply the incident light, so that depending on the viewer's position, constantly new visual impressions arise. The works are thus less static than process-oriented and continuously change through movement, perspective, and ambient light.
