William Bowie Abstract Wall Sculpture in Iron, Bronze & Gilded Brass

About the Item

This dynamic abstract wall sculpture by William Bowie is a visual delight and activates any wall it is installed on. A composition of iron brick nails are welded with bronze and overlaid with a series of folded brass forms which have been partially gilded. It can be hung in different orientations each of which is pleasing, however if the signature indicates the top, then the smaller, peaked side would belong at the top. 49.5"h X 48.5"w X 6"d
