Homenaje a Pascal (Homage to Pascal)

“Gottfried Honegger presents his “Homage to Pascal” (1973) in concrete. It is a totemic sculpture, in the form of a progressive construction that perforates the space with balanced volumes in its assembly. A naturally rational column which presents itself as a continuum of unlimited projection.”

“Today’s Swiss sculpture is exemplified in the Homage to Pascal (a concrete piece from 1973) by Gottfried Honegger, born in Zurich in 1917. The mathematical Pascalian rationality of its title is present in its prismatic pillar formed by overlapping unequal parallelepipeds.”
