The artwork, titled “Love” and created by artist Marisol Escobar in 1962, is a representative piece of the Neo-Dada art movement. This sculpture exemplifies the genre’s tendency to juxtapose everyday objects in unexpected ways.
The artwork comprises a simplistic base made of a beige, clay-like material resembling a flattened form. Upon this base, an upright glass bottle is positioned, partially filled with a dark liquid. The bottle’s design is intricate, featuring grooves and ridges that capture the light, creating an interplay of transparency and opacity with the liquid inside. This piece demonstrates the Neo-Dada movement’s emphasis on challenging traditional art forms and integrating quotidian items into fine art.
