Betty Gold is best known for her monumental outdoor works constructed from welded steel; Gold’s distinctive non-objective geometric forms are the manifestation of the confluence of the wide range of aesthetic and cultural experiences she had while traveling extensively throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Monumental Holistic III belongs to a series of large-scale works that begin their lives modestly as small, hand-folded paper maquettes. Gold then deconstructs and reassembles these forms, working them until they express a geometry that, once rendered in industrial materials, remains evocative of levity and movement.
