A rare sculpture by Takis, Idole reflects the artist’s distinctive sculptural vocabulary in its formative stage. Combining totemic abstraction with industrial materials, the work captures Takis’s fascination with form, energy, and symbolic balance. Created before his full embrace of magnetic and kinetic explorations, Idole marks a significant step in the evolution of his artistic identity.
