Modernist Exotic Marble Abstract Sculpture, "Les Deux Visages" by Dan Bedik

About the Item

This sophisticated modernist exotic marble sculpture was realized by the esteemed 20th century American artist Dan Bedik circa 1988. Entitled "Les Deux Visages"- meaning two faces (or two faced) in France- this work literalizes the title presenting two faces of an amorphic exotic marble slab in a muted red jasper hue. The front of the piece appears like a giant clam with a oversized pearl in the center. The ovoid center appears in dramatic relief with incised sunburst striations extending out to the perimeter with fine dappled patternation circumscribing the edges. The back of the piece (the other face) similarly features a raised center and channeled detailing in relief suggestive of coral. The carved elements (the dappled border and channeled lines) offer a stunning juxtaposition to the perfect skein of the polished marble throughout. Beautifully executed in exotic marble and full of dynamism and verve, this piece embodies the qualities that discerning collectors of first rate modern art absolutely adore. It would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Mid Century to contemporary. The work comes presented on a custom rectilinear black acrylic stand inscribed "Dan Bedik Les Deux Visages 88". It is in excellent vintage condition. American, 1988 Dimensions: 18.5"W X 17.5"H X 7"D

  • Mid Century Modernist Car Sculpture in Brass on Marble Base by Aharon Bezalel
    By Aharon Bezalel
    Located in New York, NY
    This unique and beautifully formed Modernist Car Sculpture in Brass on Marble Base is by the artist Aharon Bezalel, originating from Israel created in 1977. The sculpture is composed of multiple interlocking components, each serving as an individual point of intrigue while supporting one another as a finished sculpture. The body of the abstracted automobile appears skeletal and organic, curving dynamically, each component beautifully proportioned to house figures seated at various points both within interior and exterior spaces along the sculpture. Six figures total, the largest sitting up front with one leg extending, nearly scraping along the marble base as though to slow down this surreal vehicle, the other pulled closer to the body. Two additional figures sit behind, knees pulled close to chest, with three even smaller figures huddled together, concealed from the elements by the top sculptural component. The figures inside are visible from a variety of angles through cleverly planned openings that serve as the vehicle's windows. Signed on the rear of the sculpture, AB 77, edition 12/25 and resting on a rectangular white marble base. This brilliant piece will style beautifully in a wide array of interiors and settings, and is sure to draw the eye of sophisticated collectors appreciating the best of the 20th Century...
