Takis is internationally recognised as a key figure in the development of post-war sculpture. His work depends on and explores the relationships between science and art. In 1959 he exhibited at the Galerie Iris Clert his first works incorporating magnets and metal objects. In setting up vibrating electromagnetic fields, he attempted to recreate the forces that govern the universe and to make them visible. As his involvement with kinetic sculpture evolved, he explored other uses of energy to create hydro-magnetic sculptures, light signals and sculptures that operated with wind energy.
