Iron and aluminium metallic structure

“Andrés Alfaro’s 1973 work, a metal structure in iron and aluminium, corresponds to this line. Radiant constructivist sculpture, typified in his “Generatriu” series, dynamic wheel and example of a nucleus shot into space, common to the mathematical perfection of his works. Strange agreement between mental exercise and poetic evasion”

“(…) nor can praise be spared for the work of another universal Valencian, Andrés Alfaro (Valencia, 1929), in the curl of his aluminium metal rods that turn in the air the double fan which, seen all around it, subjugates with its clear and changing silhouette, even more daring than its forerunner in the Castellana Museum in Madrid, and matches the one in Burgos that rivals Juan de Colonia’s spires on the towers of the prodigious Gothic cathedral”
