Albert W. WeinCello Player (Tribute to Pablo Casals)circa 1956
circa 1956
About the Item
Albert Wein is one of America's great sculptors of the modernist period. Like Paul Manship he won the Prix de Rome and he traveled there to study. His early works were in the WPA and the Deco style. He then kept with the times and explored other movements as they came along in New York and California. Wein was deeply impressed by the music of Pablo Casals and met him. This cast has a lovely green patina and demonstrates a slight Cubist approach to the form but with a softened feel that was pre-dominant in the 1950's. His editions are always under 12 but this edition was probably less and this one is numbered 1 of 9. He cast it in Italy at the Tommasi foundry in Pietrasanta.
A great bronze for a music room, a living room and its a size that can go on any table. An eye appealing work on all fronts. A book is available on the artist and it accompanies the sculpture.

- Untitled (Wheat)By Harry BertoiaLocated in Greenwich, CTBertoia's "wheat" pieces are rare and a joy. These works do not make sound when one touches the tines and is meant less to be touched than to convey an organic feel of sunlight rippling through stalks of golden wheat. This is a great size for a table. An unusual composition for Bertoia, Untitled (Wheat) combines elements with the artist’s more familiar Tonals with those of the Sprays. Typical of the artist’s œuvre however is the pleasant sensation of touch when stroking the ends of the wires. Bertoia’s spray sculptures...Category
