Abstract Sculpture by Peter Thursby (1930 - 2011), England, c.1960

About the Item

Abstract sculpture composed of two architectural aluminium forms by British sculptor Peter Thursby. Peter Thursby, who died aged 80, produced his first work in the wake of the second world war, a time when new and brutal abstract art came into being, challenging the semi-abstract and the figurative. His early sculptures were hard and aggressive, with form sacrificed to surface qualities. In time a more human modernism took over. His work ranged in scale from the architectural and monumental to small pieces for domestic interiors. He worked with a range of materials, from cast concrete, stone and slate to bronze, stainless steel, aluminium and silver. Dimensions (cm, approx): Form 1 - Height: 13 Width: 11.5 Depth: 11.5 Form 2 - Height: 15 Width: 9 Depth: 10 Both elements are numbered and stamped.
