ZERO-GROUP Netherland Modernist 1970 Sculptural Ring 14Kt Gold With Moonstones
A modernist Zero group sculptural ring designed in Netherlands.
This ring is really a sculptural piece of art that was created in the Netherlands by a goldsmith studio, back in the 1970. The artistic geometric composition is minimalist and is associate to the Avant Garde Zero-group concepts. Has been crafted with pure geometric forms in solid yellow gold of 14 karats with high polished finish and embellished with three matching natural earth mined moonstones. The construction of this ring is wonderful, it was made as toy, a miniature model with precise cuts and exact planning.
The Zero Group
The Zero Group was a loosely knit group of artists that emerged in Germany and spread to other European countries in the 1950s, led by Heinz Mack, Otto Piene, and Günther Uecker. The artists came together with the collective desire to move away from subjective postwar movements like the French Art Informel and Tachism. The main idea was to create art that was purely about the work’s materials and the world in which those materials exist, de-emphasizing the role of the artist’s hand with focus was on light and space. The main exponents were Heinz Mack, Otto Piene, Günther Uecker, Yves Klein, Piero Manzoni, Lucio Fontana, Yayoi Kusama, Jean Tinguely, Lucio Fontana and Paolo Scheggi
