• His occupation with the works of Jean Arp, Max Bill, and Constantin Brancusi, Josef Staub discovered chrome steel as a material for his artistic creations.
• Staub constructs geometric abstract figures from lines and surfaces, forming knotted bands and infinite loops.
• “Jupiter” is one of the artist's last works, completed before his death in 2006.
• The artist's works can be found in the Lucerne Art Museum, on the Rössliwiese and in front of the Herti Center in Zug, and on Hardplatz in Zurich.

The work is listed in the artist's catalogue raisonné under number 611. We are grateful to Fredi Staub, Baden, Switzerland, for his kind support in cataloging this lot.
