Signal 1 and 2

Carel Visser (1928-2015), steel, lead, concrete, c. 1961-1964

Carel Visser designed these abstract sculptures for an office of the Postcheque- en Girodienst in The Hague. They marked the unassuming entrance. By rotating the identical sculptures 180 degrees, Visser created a complex visual play with planes and volumes. The lead cladding and bare concrete of the pedestals matched the brutalist architecture of the now demolished office building.
