De stoel werd ontworpen voor het Rietveld Schröderhuis in Utrecht en past in de Nederlandse kunststroming De Stijl. Het is een opmerkelijk architectonisch concept, evenals vele andere stoelontwerpen van Rietveld. De zigzagstoel heeft een hoge zitting zonder armleuningen en is opgebouwd uit aan elkaar gelijmde massief houten platen van 18 millimeter dikte. De houtverbindingen zijn bij al Rietvelds meubelen bijzonder. Bij de zigzagstoel is de verbinding van rug met zitting gemaakt met zwaluwstaartverbindingen. De verbinding van de zitting met de poot en die van de poot met de vloerplaat is gemaakt van in verstek gezaagd hout en verstevigd door elk acht bouten en een hoeklat. De stoel heeft een zithoogte van 460 millimeter. Voordat deze constructie werd gekozen heeft Rietveld diverse andere constructies onderzocht.
Eerst maakte hij een stalen frame met een zitting van fiberglas. Vervolgens werden tussen twee stalen frames houten latten geschroefd. De uiteindelijk verkozen houten hoekconstructies zijn in diverse varianten uitgevoerd. Rietveld ontwierp diverse modellen met het zigzagmotief als uitgangspunt, onder andere een kinderstoel, een fauteuil, een stoel met armleuningen. Rietveld liet de zigzagstoel in serie van telkens twintig maken. De stoel is in productie vanaf 1934 en wordt in de eenentwintigste eeuw nog altijd vervaardigd door Cassina, bekend om zijn productie van oude en nieuwe designmeubelen. Cassina heeft de rechten van veel van Rietvelds beroemdste ontwerpen.Original design chair / wood The Dimple seat's structural design was inspired by an eclectic mix of old, vintage race car seats and golf ball patterns. The union of the two concepts has created a comfortable and highly ergonomic body, with a modern, vibrant aesthetic. The ZigZag base harmoniously combines the warmth of the ash wood, with the cool colours of the metal inserts.
The show will include a number of key Arte Povera, Post-Minimalist and Conceptual works, many of which have not been on public view in New York for more than 30 years. All of the artists presented in Zig Zag feature prominently in the exhibition history of Sperone Westwater, where they were championed from their early days. On the eve of the gallery’s thirty-fifth anniversary, this exhibition celebrates the radical influence these artists have had on the evolution of contemporary art. In 1966 Alighiero Boetti began making sculptures with materials that referenced everyday objects. One such work, Zig Zag (1966) is composed of printed multi-colored fabric stretched over a metal armature, somewhat reminiscent of a folding lawn chair confined within a cubic framework. Zig Zag is one of the first examples in which Boetti uses fabric in his work – the beginning of what would become an in-depth exploration of concepts using textiles that lead to the later embroideries and Mappa following his travels in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Also on view is Boetti’s Dossier Postale, initiated in 1969 when Boetti first started to utilize the postal system in his work. For Dossier Postale (1969 – 1970), Boetti chose around 20 recipients – primarily artists, art critics, dealers, and collectors active at the time. Boetti sent an express mail envelope to each person at every stop along his/her imagined itinerary. Each letter was returned to the artist undelivered, then placed within a new larger envelope and sent to the next address. With each mailing, the outer envelope would grow larger, and its contents would grow thicker. The addressee would never see any of the envelopes, which would ultimately remain with the artist. Mario Merz is represented by two large-scale sculptures from 1968: Lingotto and Senza Titolo. Incorporating natural materials such as beeswax and tree branches, both works are important early examples of Merz’s life-long dedication to using humble materials from everyday life. After 1968, Merz became a principle of the Arte Povera group of Italian artists collectively bound by a shared anti-elitist aesthetic and the incorporation of accessible materials, debris from both the natural and inorganic worlds.
Bruce Nauman’s sculpture Untitled (1968) is a work comprising a lead plate with a small hole in the center atop a steel plate. The hole is filled with water, causing the steel portion of the piece to rust from the inside. The exhibition will also include a group of black-and-white photographs by William Wegman from the early 1970s. In these works, the artist uses himself as the subject and directs the viewer to a scene staged exclusively for the camera. Interested in ideas of perception and identity, Wegman juxtaposes two subtly different photographs and uses wordplay to make these conceptual works both humorous and strange. Douglas Huebler’s work also incorporates an element of chance and humor. Alternative Piece #1 (1970) documents a journey that the artist took between Konrad Fischer gallery in Dusseldorf, Germany and Galleria Sperone in Torino, Italy. For this journey, the direction traveled by artist between both cities was determined by the flip of a coin. The work itself is the compilation of the trip’s documentation: polaroids, maps, names, time, directions taken and distances travelled.
