Monumental Kinetic Sculpture by Joseph Burlini, 1982

Discover the epitome of artistic mastery with this incredible, monumental, freestanding travertine sculpture by acclaimed artist Robert Winslow (b. 1950). Titled "Matrix D" and crafted in 1985, this awe-inspiring artwork offers you a unique opportunity to own an extraordinary piece that showcases the pinnacle of sculptural expression. Measuring an impressive 116" H x 68" W x 39" D, the sculpture is composed of 27 hand-fabricated, interlocking slabs of solid, unfilled, honed travertine stone, sourced from a now-depleted quarry near Sedona, Arizona. Each 1.25" thick slab is meticulously carved and fitted to create an abstract, geometric, multi-plane sculpture with a stunning three-dimensional presence. Winslow's masterful craftsmanship is evident in the bullnose rounded edges and gracefully curved slots that ensure there are no sharp edges in the piece. This striking sculpture captures Winslow's innovative approach to design and creative genius, through the captivating array of geometric shapes, angular forms, fluid lines, and sweeping curves. Each piece is a unique shape. The two separated leg structures, composed of six travertine slabs, serve as a stable foundation while the interlocking pieces create an ascending structure, culminating at a towering height of 116”. The alternating directions of the interlocking pieces add to the sense of movement and dynamism in the sculpture. The creation of the "Matrix" sculptures demanded an extraordinary amount of time and effort from Winslow, especially before the advent of modern 3D rendering and CNC cutting technologies. To ensure the stability and proper fit of these freestanding sculptures, Winslow meticulously crafted multiple maquettes using wood, plaster, and metal. The resulting sculptures are celebrated for their modern forms, interplay of negative space, and harmoniously counterbalanced protrusions. Originally commissioned by an Executive Vice President of McDonald's Corporation for his Oak Brook, IL home, this monumental masterpiece is now available for the first time on the market since its creation. Rarely do works of this scale and complexity come to market! "Matrix D" would make a stunning statement piece in a grand entryway, double-height living room, or commercial or residential building lobby. Don't miss this unparalleled opportunity to own a breathtaking example of Robert Winslow's artistry and elevate your space with a true conversation starter.
