Dos Grandes

Bill Barrett (American, b. 1934)
Dos Grandes, 1983
Aluminum 

Long-term loan from Miami-Dade Art in Public Places, gift of the J. Patrick Lannan Foundation

Vertically oriented and situated on three points, Dos Grandes is an elegant, curvilinear sculpture with elements that intersect and undulate in space. Barrett balances visual tension with organic form, producing a work that is both abstracted and animated. 

A prolific artist with a career spanning more than thirty years, Barrett’s work is represented in various museums and private collections including the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe.
