拍品专文

The Archipenko Foundation will include this work in the upcoming catalogue raisonné of sculptures by Alexander Archipenko.

In this historically pivotal subject, Archipenko innovatively uses negative space to emphasize the existence of the form, making this work quintessential in the history of the artist’s production. Walking also encompasses the first known attempt by any sculptor to use convex forms to replace the natural concavities of the human body.
