Eusebio Sempere, a Spanish painter and sculptor, manipulated light and movement to give his sculptures and mobiles a sense of spaciousness, working in a variety of materials depending on his desired effect. Sempere exhibited widely for over 50 years and his works are included in the following collections: Museo Contemporaneo de Madrid; Museo de Arte Abstracto, de Cuencaa; Fogg Museum, Harvard; Museum of Modern Art, Atlanta; Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, Barcelona; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museu de Arte Moderno, Rio de Janeiro; Museo de Arte Moderno, Valencia.

This chrome over iron sculpture, which can be hung, was one of his groundbreaking works that gained much attention. Although he worked in many media, Sempere is most well known for his dynamic metal sculpture such as this piece.
