About the Item

Edition: 4/4 Casting date: 2013 Signature and edition engraved on the base Philippe Hiquily is a singular artist, a sculptor, but also a creator of jewellery, furniture, engravings, and experimental kinetic and electronic works. His work is mainly based on games of form and balance and the "coupling" of sculptures and objects. Whether they are made of iron, brass or steel, stable or mobile, small or monumental, his sculptures all have the same principle: art should be funny, playful and aesthetic.

  • Art Glass Black Bench, Stained Glass and Cast Iron Sculpture by Drew Smith
    Located in Long Island City, NY
    As a native of Idaho Falls, Drew was inspired since early childhood by the beauty of the surrounding Intermountain Region. The Tetons, Snake River, and a few local wetlands became magical destinations with sounds of wind in the reeds or migrating waterfowl that continue to echo through Drew’s professional work. This cast iron bench has custom stained glass melted into the negative spaces, forming pseudo cushions to rest on. The back of the structure is molded to resemble a playful family of robots, holding each other and posed in a line as if taking a family photo. Art Glass Black...

  • Brutalist Hand Forged Iron Mosaic Sculpture Menorah Israeli David Palombo
    By David Palombo
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Hand Forged Iron Stone Mosaic Hanukah Menorah Candelabra David Palombo was an Israeli sculptor and painter. He was born in Turkey to a traditional family and immigrated to the Land of Israel with his parents in 1923. They lived in the Nahalat Shiva neighborhood of Jerusalem. In 1940 he began his studies at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, and from 1942 was a student of sculptor Ze’ev Ben-Zvi. For a period of time, Palombo was an assistant at Ben-Zvi’s studio and also taught at Bezalel. During this period he was also a member of the “Histadrut HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed” (The General Federation of Students and Young Workers in Israel). In the 1940s he took art lessons at night. In 1948 he went to Paris, where he visited the studio of the sculptor Constantin Brancusi whose work influenced him. Around 1958 he married the artist Shulamit Sirota. In 1960 he quit his job to devote himself to art. In 1964 he married for the second time to the artist Yona Palombo. The two of them went to live in an abandoned home on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. In 1966 he was killed when the motorcycle on which he was riding ran into a chain stretched across the street to prevent the desecration of Shabbat. His widow opened a museum in their home that was active until the year 2000. Work by Palombo is included in the Judaic collection of the Jewish Museum (a well known Hanukkah menora). Palombo executed the impressive metal gates of the Tent of Remembrance at the Yad Vashem, the memorial to the martyrs of the holocaust, as well as the gates to the Knesset Building the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco award) awarded him a scholarship for study in Japan. He worked in marble, granite, bronze, iron and steel. as well as with glass mosaic tiles. Palombo’s early works, in the 1950s, were influenced by modernist sculptors such as Brancusi. These works were composed of abstract images from nature and were carved out of stone or wood. At the end of the 1950s he began making metal sculptors, using the technique of welding. His work took on a more abstract and expressive character.
