Papanikolaou Nikolaos

Greek artist Nikolaos Papanikolaou shaped metal into heads and figures in the 1960s. He hammered out forms like Daughter’s head in 1963 and the untitled piece from 1964, leaving the metal’s surface to catch the light. His drawings—Outdoor study in 1962—show the same careful line softened by air and space. Tap any of his three metal heads or the drawing to see how he turned simple tools into living shapes.
