1968 - Description
- This is one of a number of sculptures utilizing circles and triangles as the structural elements of the composition which Annesley produced from about 1965. His use of colour to suggest fluidity in the structural elements in these works was much influenced by the work of the painters Joseph Albers (1888-1976) and Kenneth Noland (b.1924) both of whom used a fixed format in which to explore different colour values. Thus, like many of Annesley's works, "1968/8-2" was made in an edition of three, each with a different range of colours. This is the second of the three versions.

National Museums NI holds over a million objects in the collection, as well as this we manage the records and associated images for each object through a working database. The national collection has been almost 200 years in the making, and we recognise that thinking about collecting and collections has evolved over this time and continues to evolve. As a result, some of our records may contain language and views that we now consider offensive and unacceptable, for example, reflecting racist attitudes. We are committed to addressing these issues, and to reviewing and updating our records accordingly. Working with researchers, communities and academic partners we are learning more about the stories behind objects, and we are committed to sharing these with our audiences. We welcome feedback.
