  Outside Europe: Aus der Sammlung DaimlerChrysler, Daimler Contemporary, Detailed Description : Jesús Rafael Soto’s work becomes kinetic through his intricate layering of geometric designs, the physical movement of spectators, and a masterful manipulation of optical illusion. At first Soto’s pieces (difficult to classify amalgams of painting and three-dimensional or relief construction) appear to owe their impact to the geometry of Piet Mondrian or European Constructionists (Soto was an avid student of Mondrian). But then, Soto’s sense of color and design contains it own magic. Based on a simple grid of black and white vertical lines, the works are embellished by stainless steel or painted (usually in bright primary colors) squares that appear to dance before spectators’ eyes - as you contemplate them, they begin to undulate. Soto has created further three-dimensional elements by stringing monofilament into geometric background shapes and adding bent and painted steel rods to his constructions. For his retrospective at the Musee d´art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the artist constructed the first of his large Penetrables - environments of hanging plastic or metal tubes intended to be entered and displaced by the spectator, essentially rendering the pieces incomplete without viewer participation. Any detailed analysis of Soto’s work provides insight into the mind of someone driven by an, in this case engaging, obsessive-compulsive streak. Soto's work has appeared in places such as the Museum of Modern Art and Guggenheim Museum in New York City, as well as the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, France. The Centre Georges Pompidou will be conducting a retrospective of his work in 2012.
