 In the period when the international New Tendencies exhibitions were taking place (1961-1973), the then Gallery of Contemporary Art also organized several significant one-man exhibitions of the artists belonging to the movement. They were gathering in Paris, around Denise René's gallery. Thus, in 1970, an exhibition was organized of the French-Venezuelan artist Jesus Rafael Soto (1923). This work was purchased on the occasion, among other things. The "Orange Extension" is a typical example of Soto's works. By including the observer and his/her haptic/kinetic sensations, the physically static matter is united with the changeable spatial and temporal elements.
