Prone to Wonder - Found Object Abstract Sculpture, Bent Metal Rods

2021

About the Item

A found object is a natural or man-made item, or fragment of an item that is found by an artist and kept because of some intrinsic interest the artist sees in it. Beginning with Picasso, who incorporated newspapers and matchboxes into his cubist collages and constructions, this idea has been carried forward. It was popular with the Dada and Surrealist movements and with such great artists as Damien Hurst and Henry Moore. Here, artist Rick Farrell has taken those ideals, incorporating many found objects that have inspired him, to create these small unorthodox sculptures.

  • “Pen Decline 1 - 2 - 3 in Black” (Archeology series) Computer Keyboard Sculpture
    By Daniel Fiorda
    Located in New York, NY
    Daniel Fiorda in this new series of sculptures, continues in many ways the themes that have infused his previous work. For the last several years, Fiorda has dealt with technology, obsolescence, with the trail of discarded tech that humanity leaves behind and what it says about us. The new work takes this thematic one step further. These new wall pieces feature barely concealed found objects, almost fully engulfed by concrete, and yet still eerily discernible: industrial gears, computer keyboards, objects that evoke industrial post-digital eras. This piece is a set of 3 artworks...
