In the 1980s, Rytka created one of his most distinctive portfolios entitled Continual Infinity (1983). It is an attempt to illustrate human efforts to match or even control nature, which are, however, doomed to failure because, apparently, nature cannot be tamed or subdued. This work was created during the same period and can be treated as a reference to the Continual Infinity series, showing the transience of form, but also of the gesture that creates it.
ADDITIONAL CHARGE DETAILS:
- In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer's premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots we charge 18 % of the hammer price.
