Monumental Modern Original Abstract Painting by Alain Le Yaouanc, 1960s
About the Item
Alain Le Yaouanc (1931-2012) was a French painter and printmaker associated with the abstraction movement of the mid-twentieth century. He was known for his use of vibrant colors and geometric shapes, and his works often incorporated elements of the natural world.
Le Yaouanc studied at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he was influenced by the work of artists such as Nicolas de Staël and Pierre Soulages. He began exhibiting his paintings in the 1950s, and his work was included in major group shows in France and abroad.
In the 1960s, Le Yaouanc began experimenting with printmaking, and he became a master of the medium. He created a large number of prints, often using techniques such as lithography and etching to produce works that echoed the themes and styles of his paintings.
Throughout his career, Le Yaouanc remained committed to abstraction and to exploring the possibilities of color and form. His work has been shown in many major exhibitions, including retrospectives at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes.
This painting is a wonderful example of his work, as it features what he's best known for-- vibrant colors, and geometric shapes. This monumentally large piece has wonderful age and patina and while a half a century old, still is very current and would look incredible in any modern, mid century modern, or even post modern home. As photographed with a Paul Evans Argente Cube table and a Knoll BRNO Chair by Mies Van der Rohe. Such a striking piece!

- Harvey Probber Curved Crescent Sofa, 1960s, 2 AvailableBy Harvey ProbberLocated in Culver City, CAAvailable right now, we have this stunning crescent sofa by design master, Harvey Probber! Picture this: You're lounging in sheer opulence on a sofa that's as curvy as the bird streets, and equally as glamorous. And guess what? We've got not one, but two of these rare 1960's gems, both dressed up in the most lavish off-white bouclé fabric you've ever seen, and priced per sofa. The Crescent Sofa by Harvey Probber is the epitome of swanky sophistication, originally designed in the late 40's early 1950's, Its unique crescent shape cradles you in heavenly comfort, like a warm embrace from an old friend. It's not just a sofa; it's a lifestyle statement. When you think of luxury, this is what you see. Now, about that off-white bouclé upholstery. It's the stuff of dreams, folks. Imagine sinking into those plush cushions, feeling like you're floating on a cloud. It's the kind of fabric that practically begs you to kick off your shoes and sprawl out in utter relaxation. And yes, it's as Instagram-worthy as it gets. #BoucléGoals, anyone? Harvey Probber was a design genius with a vision as big as the moon. Born in 1922, this guy knew a thing or two about making furniture that oozed class and charisma. He took inspiration from design royalty like Edward Wormley, Tommi Parzinger, and Vladimir Kagan. Edward Wormley, the king of mid-century modern, knew how to balance clean lines and timeless elegance. Wormley's influence on Probber is evident in the sofa's sleek, yet inviting silhouette. Tommi Parzinger, with his penchant for glamorous details, inspired Probber to add that extra touch of opulence to his designs. It's all about the details, darling! And speaking of details, Vladimir Kagan's knack for avant-garde shapes pushed Probber to think outside the box (or in this case, the crescent). Kagan's audacious designs encouraged Probber to create pieces that were as daring as they were luxurious. Elevate your home and decor...Category

- Monumental 10 Light Fresnel Sunflower Chandelier by Dirk van der KooijBy Dirk Vander KooijLocated in Culver City, CAIn the opulent world of the uber-rich, where mansions are counted in the tens of millions, and pop superstars reign supreme, one can expect nothing less than extravagance in every detail. Amidst the glittering gems of a $70 million mansion owned by a legendary pop sensation, we had the honor of acquiring a custom chandelier that defies convention and embodies the spirit of luxury and creativity. Allow me to introduce you to a dazzling masterpiece—a one-of-a-kind creation by none other than the visionary Dirk Van Der Kooij. Picture yourself stepping into a lavish, sun-drenched living room, adorned with the finest furniture money can buy. In this resplendent space, the centerpiece of the room is the extraordinary custom chandelier—a breathtaking work of art that beckons the gaze of those who dare enter. This chandelier is unlike anything you've ever seen. It's as if an intricate web of tinker toy sticks and wheels has come to life, monumentally suspended from the ceiling in a mesmerizing display. Crisscrossing black rods weave an intricate pattern, resembling the playful sticks of childhood imagination, yet with an adult sophistication that captures the essence of modern luxury. The magic of this chandelier lies in its radiant, wheel-shaped 3D-printed recycled plastic rings. These translucent rings, adorned with a riot of bright lights, cast a celestial glow, reminiscent of twinkling stars on a clear night. Imagine standing beneath this celestial marvel, feeling as if you're gazing at the very cosmos itself. But what truly sets this chandelier apart are the circular black balls nestled at its core, reminiscent of the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop. These unique orbs, resembling beautifully lit lollipops, add a whimsical touch to the chandelier's design, infusing an air of playfulness and joy into the opulent setting. Dirk Van Der Kooij, the mastermind behind this creation, is no stranger to pushing the boundaries of design. His philosophy revolves around longevity, functionality, and joy, and this chandelier is a testament to those principles. Van Der Kooij's journey began in 2009 when he set up his studio in the basement of the Design Academy, Eindhoven. His quest to find the honest, durable potential in plastic led to groundbreaking innovations, including the iconic Elephant Skin series, where recycled plastic came alive with rich, living tactility. The Kooij collection, with its penchant for unconventional materials and a marriage of craft and technology, has found its way into prestigious museums worldwide. Pieces from his collection now grace the permanent collections of institutions like MoMA in New York and the Vitra Design Museum, a testament to his enduring impact on the world of design. Now, picture the scene where this magnificent chandelier hangs in the mansion—a scene of luxurious excess and unapologetic glamour. Surrounding it are design classics, including the Cassina Mex Cube...Category
