UMBERTO BOCCIONI. Development of a Bottle in Space

Development of a Bottle in Space. Artist: Umberto Boccioni (Italian, Reggio 1882-1916 Sorte). Dimensions: 15 1/2 x 23 3/4 x 15 1/2 in. (39.4 x 60.3 x 39.4cm). Date: 1913, cast 1950. In March 1912 Boccioni wrote, "These days I am obsessed by sculpture! I believe I have glimpsed a complete renovation of that mummified art." A month later he published the "Technical Manifesto of Futurist Sculpture," and by June 1913 he had produced eleven sculptures, including Development of a Bottle in Space. Rather than delineating the contours of his subject, a bottle, Boccioni integrated the object's internal and external spatial planes, which appear to unfold and spiral into surrounding space.
