Tony Rosenthal Solo Exhibition, Knoedler Gallery, New York, 1968
In the 1960s, Tony Rosenthal conceived a series of Discs and Rondo sculptures. These sculptures created in various sizes, from diminutive tabletop measuring merely 8 inches to imposing public installations extending up to 11 feet. Tony Rosenthal meticulously created from hand-cut bronze maquettes, while the monumental works—cast at the legendary Lippincott Foundry—come to life in full scale, some designed to spin gracefully, engaging viewers with ever-changing reflections and movement.
Characterized by geometric forms, predominantly circular or spherical, Rosenthal’s sculptures are meticulously designed to engage dynamically with natural light, resulting in ever-changing reflections and patterns as the sun traverses the sky. Notable works such as Rondo are frequently installed in public spaces, serving as landmarks and focal points in locations including New York and Hawaii. These installations invite viewers to interact with both the reflective surfaces and the surrounding environment.
