Bernar Venet, is a French sculptor and printmaker, born in 1941, whose work has enjoyed international recognition since the 1960s.
The title of that lithograph, Random Combination of Indetermine Lines, is also that of an important series of sculptures. A series that began in the early 90's and which follows the Indeterminate Lines series
It is a question for the artist of arranging on the ground rods of corten steel, his material of predilection. In the Collapses series, the gigantic arches are pushed against each other and fall to the ground, creating a seemingly random arrangement that is nonetheless subject to physical principles such as inevitable gravity.
This lithograph is an integral part of this series. Bernar Venet suggests a ground line and shadows, defining a pictorial space.
On this represented ground are "posed" rods whose weight can be perceived. They intermingle to form a pattern that does not seem predefined but spontaneous.
It is a tribute to the material in what it has of fascinating, in its physicality, its gravity, its power. The artist has the ability to harmoniously order this raw material. A beautiful work by Venet, in line with his works on paper, sober and powerful.

Presentation
Bernar Venet is a French visual artist , born in 1941 in Château-Arnoux-Saint-Auban in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. He has been living in the United States since 1966 where he has become known for his steel sculptures and his drawings. In the 60s, Venet showcased canvases covered with tar.
Bernar Venet's notoriety began during this period, with the creation of a formless sculpture, composed of a pile of coal poured on the ground. His capacity for intellectual abstraction and his taste for mathematical reasoning and experimentation lead Venet to what was soon to become conceptual art.
In the 80s, Bernar Venet set up the basic structure of his "Lignes indéterminées". He produced them in steel and installed in many urban spaces and public collections, including Nice, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Strasbourg, Beijing, Austin, San Francisco, Museum of Grenoble. In 2011 Venet installed his monumental works in the Versailles gardens.
In 2022, Berlin's Tempelhof Kunsthalle hosted a five-month long retrospective spanning the artist's career from 1961 to 2021.
