the precise is part of a body of work initiated by Ugo Rondinone in 2013 with Human Nature: nine monumental sculptures installed on the Rockefeller Plaza in New York, as part of the Public Art Fund project. In a further development, the artist created smaller iterations of the same motif, inscribing this body of work in an ancestral sculptural tradition that includes Palaeolithic Venus representations, Cycladic marble figurines, Stonehenge, or the Inukshuk stone cairns built by the Inuit in Canada.
“The stone figure is the most archetypal representation of the human form; an elemental symbol of the human spirit, connected to the earth yet mythic in the imagination. The image of the figure belongs to nobody, is timeless, and universal.”
—Ugo Rondinone
