A
pioneering figure in the development of minimal, conceptual, land art,
and installation art, Walter De Maria has made minimalist horizontal
sculptures that occupy entire rooms since 1969. Measuring 10 x 50 meters
(approximately 33 x 164 feet),
The 2000 Sculpture was first
exhibited at the Kunsthaus Zurich in 1992. It is one of a series of
works by De Maria featuring groupings of ordered elements using precise
measurements, among them:
The Lightning Field (1977),
The Broken Kilometer (1979), and
360° I Ching
(1981). In 2010, LACMA installed the sculpture in the Resnick Pavilion,
prior to the building's official opening, in order to take advantage of
the play of light and vast open space of Renzo Piano's gallery building
before the interior walls were installed. The initial installation of
The 2000 Sculpture
in the Resnick Pavilion represented an ideal relationship between
sculpture and architecture. The current presentation is the first
official public exhibition of
The 2000 Sculpture at LACMA, and only the second solo museum exhibition of De Maria's work in the United States.
