Esprit sphérique

Esprit Sphérique shows all the richness and the conceptual and material intensity of spherical objects. In fact, there are very different kinds of spheres: those used in games, those created by artists, those for military purposes, those with magical or religious significance and, finally, handmade spheres. The profusion of these objects-obsessively gathered by collectors from different countries-offers accurate and concrete experiences that have very particular characteristics, which also suggest and evoke sensations and reflections: the shape of the sphere. The special monograph on this unique collection includes reflections and considerations by important representatives of international contemporary culture, and becomes essential to regard the sphere as a form of pure geometry, intense meaning, history, invention and symbolic reference.
