Development of a Bottle in Space
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Development of a Bottle in Space (Italian: Sviluppo di una bottiglia nello spazio) is a bronze futurist sculpture by Umberto Boccioni. Initially a sketch in Boccioni’s "Technical Manifesto of Futurist Sculpture",[1]" the design was later cast into bronze by Boccioni himself in the year 1913. Consistent with many of themes in Boccioni’s manifesto, the work of art highlights the artist’s first successful attempt at creating a sculpture that both molds and encloses space within itself.[2]
