** Eva Rothschild (b. 1972) - Meta, 2004 4 triangular sheets of polished steel, from the edition of 3 each sheet 106 1/4 x 39 1/2 x 3/4 in., 270 x 100 x 2 cm, overall dimensions variable Provenance: New Art Centre, United Kingdom. Exhibited: Waddesdon Manor, United Kingdom, House of Cards , 26 May - 28 October 2012. More than many of her contemporaries, Rothschild is engaged with enduring sculptural issues.She uses materials more closely related to other disciplines such as craft and architecture (steel, leather, wood and plexiglas), and her concerns seem to be very much to do with how objects can occupy space and volume, and the role of gravity in holding sculpture together. Arguably her best known work is the editioned sculpture Meta, four large triangular sheets of polished steel that fit together to create two pyramid structures, standing side-by-side. The title is an Ancient Greek prefix meaning 'among' or ¾tween', and may simply be an examination of how structures work but the overtly religious form of the resultant piece, and its sense of inclusivity, is not lost on her audience. Rothschild first came to prominence in the landmark Whitechapel Gallery exhibition Early One Morning in 2002, itself a remake of the much-vaunted 1965 exhibition of the same title and venue. She has since gone on to be included in several high profile exhibitions worldwide, famously taking over the Duveen Galleries at Tate Britain with her monumental sculpture ' Cold Corners' in 2011, and most recently at the Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas in 2013. This is the first time this iconic sculpture has appeared at public auction. IMPORTANT: This lot is sold subject to Artists Resale Rights, details of which can be found in our Terms and Conditions.
