Vintage Sheldon Rose Alpha Typographic Cube Sculpture Mixed Media

About the Item

This interesting alpha cube abstract sculpture by Sheldon Rose is a mixed media comprised of polychrome metal and paint. It features a medley of faux letterpress symbols, numbers and letters. Each side is different and feasts the eyes. It is a cast metal form with gold paint simulating a brass look. We had it cleaned and re-painted in worn places. It is called the alpha sculpt and is not signed that we can see. Some were signed and others were not. It is from 1968 and is mid century modern. Sheldon Rose attended the Cooper Union in the 1960's and is best known for these iconic sculptures that all vary and are different. The letters, numbers and symbols are raised.

  • Mixed-Media Sculpture Dror Karta
    By Dror Karta
    Located in Palm Springs, CA
    A wonderful mixed-media sculpture by the noted Israeli Artist Dror Karta. This sculpture was in a traveling exhibition and is pictured in the book. The exhibition was about Palestinian and Israeli artists, who were given the same bowl to start. This is the actual piece. It is signed as well. It is a ceramic bowl, four glass leaves and lots of little bottles inside loose. The glass leaves are molded into the ceramic base by some kind of white epoxy. The leaves have been repaired at the base with the epoxy and quite a few of the little bottles have damage. There is a small chip on the underside. A brief Bio of the artist follows from the artist's website follows; Biography 1965 Born in Natanya, Israel 1985 Wounded during military service 1988-1992 Study graphic design in "Hadasa-vizo Canada college of design" Haifa, Israel 1994 Opens studio for painting, sculpturing and designing 1998 Moves to Ein-Hod Artist Village, Israel 2001-2003 Lives and works in Amsterdam, NL Group exhibitions 1998 "Shesh-Besh", Pyramid contemporary art gallery, Haifa, Israel 1998 "60 Horse Power", holiday of holidays art...
