S C U L P T U R E ! WORKED, WELDED AND ENAMELED COPPER & BRASS !
A p p r o x i m a t e l y 13 " x 5 "1 9 5 7This is an EPIC brutalist fish sculpture with the most sensational blue-green
enamel we have seen in years - a survivor of mid century metallic paints
(many of which use ingredients no longer permitted) and it sparkles
and changes color as one moves around it!Ingenious strands of metal act both as fins and also to stabilize
the sculpture. The eyes are hand worked spirals and everything
on this work simply comes together beautifully. There is a
industrial quality to the sculpture that gives it a
dynamic duality - nature embodied in the material of the machine!These one of a kind art works from this period
add not just visual panache to an interior but they
also are our link to art history - in this
case: mid century direct metal sculptures.
The past can never be re-created, but pieces can be acquired. And this one is simply sublime!This work is in fine vintage condition and
has minor enamel loss and the appealing aged patina only
1/2 a century can create!This would make a wonderful addition to your NY penthouse,
Palm Springs atomic ranch or UK summer home!
