Seven Foldings Possibly 1975 - 1978

Editor: Dora Maurer's "Seven Foldings", held here at the Tate, presents an intriguing geometric pattern. The muted tones and repeating shapes give it an almost architectural feel. What's your take on this piece? Curator: It’s fascinating how Maurer uses simple geometric forms to explore spatial relationships, especially given her Hungarian context and the constraints on artistic expression at the time. Does this structural rigidity represent something of that society? Editor: That's a great point. It definitely makes me think about the political landscape and artistic limitations she might have faced. Curator: Exactly! It prompts us to consider how artists navigate and respond to their socio-political environment through their work. I've really enjoyed your thinking on the subject. Editor: Likewise. I'll definitely look at geometric abstraction differently now.
