Clement Meadmore"Upsurge" bronze maquette pedestal sculpture 1989
1989
About the Item
"Upsurge" is a minimalist, abstract pedestal sculpture in fabricated bronze. It was conceived in 1989 and can be considered a Mid-Century Modern artwork. It is finished with Clement Meadmore's "honey waxy" patina. The sculpture balances on its own, but can be secured via a hidden keyhole underneath the sculpture. It looks stunning on a table, desk, shelf, or display pedestal or base (not included) if desired. The title, date, edition number, and foundry stamp are inscribed underneath next to the keyhole.
This is number 2 in an edition of 8 (plus 2 Artist's Proofs) at this "Maquette" size. There is also a larger "Indoor" version available in our current inventory, and a much larger "Garden" version available by commission in black painted aluminum. Please contact us for more information.
Clement Meadmore was born in Melbourne and originally studied aeronautical engineering at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia. After graduating in 1949, he designed furniture until 1953 when his first sculpture of welded steel was offered for sale. While a young artist, his work was highly regarded and he was awarded a number of exhibitions, including several one-person shows in Melbourne and Sydney, where he had lived since 1960. Meadmore moved to New York in 1963 at the age of 34, and later became a United States citizen. With the exception of a year spent in Australia as photo editor for Vogue magazine, Meadmore lived and worked in New York for the remainder of his career.
Meadmore passed away in April, 2005, leaving an important legacy of elegant, gravity-defying sculpture in many prestigious venues in the US, Japan, and Mexico. The Meadmore Estate continues to have the open editions of his works in all size ranges fabricated in the same way as he did while he was alive. Please inquire about possibilities.
