Abstraction

So I'm sure you have all heard of this one, but hey why not state the obvious.

Robert Klippel

My most favourite of his works is held in the Art gallery of nsw, so if you havn't seen it its definatly worth a geeze.It's a sculpture with about 40 little toy looking things, similar to the image below, but many more.

He's also Australian, which always seems to be important.

"Robert Klippel is regarded as Australia’s most important sculptor of the post-war 20th century period. Known for his abstract assemblages created from found objects he is a distinguished figure in the history of Australian art."
