Miguel Ortiz Berrocal Richelieu Large Bronze Puzzle Sculpture and Book 481/2000

About the Item

Miguel Ortiz Berrocal Richelieu Large Bronze Puzzle Sculpture and Book 481/2000 Offered for sale is a rare bronze puzzle sculpture by Spanish artist Miguel Ortiz Berrocal (1933-2006) signed and numbered 461/2000 in a limited edition. The sculpture is accompanied by the original book and assembly instructions as pictured and was made in Italy. This sculpture is a sought-after and rarely found piece by the Spanish artist. Spanish artist Miguel Berrocal is best known for his interactive sculptural works, which range in scale from the minuscule to the monumental and depict abstract or figurative forms that can be assembled like puzzles. Fascinated from an early age by analytic geometry, science, and drawing, Berrocal quickly turned to sculpture after his schooling. Berrocal’s practice was driven by a strong personal philosophy highlighted by the desire to connect with the viewer through sculptural objects, leading to an analytical, complicated process of study and the construction of touchable works. Berrocal believed that in order to truly experience form, it must be “observed with the hands,” thus emphasizing the viewer’s role in the mental and physical construction of an artwork.
