Two Nudes Descending the Staircase

In the 1980s, Luciano Fabro taught at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan and paid special attention to art history in his practice. Due nudi che scendono le scale is part of a group of works in which the artist deliberately referenced various artistic sources. The title of the work refers to Marcel Duchamp’s groundbreaking painting, Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2 (1912). Duchamp rendered a body in motion through fragmentary geometric planes and curved lines. Fabro reinterpreted it by transferring the painted forms into a sculptural installation. Two rectangular and slightly curved pieces of beautifully polished marble recall the movement of two figures descending a set of stairs. By translating conceptual devices of painting into simple forms in space, Fabro analyzed the physical conditions that inform sculpture as a composition of volumes in space.
