Nobuo Sekine
Nobuo Sekine (Japan, 1942–2019) was a pivotal figure in the Mono-ha movement, renowned for his minimalist sculptures that explored the relationship between natural and industrial materials. His seminal work, 'Phase—Mother Earth' (1968), featured a cylindrical hole and its corresponding earth mound, challenging perceptions of space and matter. Sekine's art is featured in major institutions, including the National Museum of Art in Osaka and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark.
