Marble

Artist's Commentary:
"'70 million years old alligator fossil were discovered, recently.' Their skulls were cleaned and 'revitalised'. The open jaw is hold by hidden magnets at the back of the skull. It is tightly balanced, so even a gentle touch could close the jaw!"
About the Artist:
Born in Hungary, Andrasfalvy is 50, with swift dark eyes, a chiseled jaw, and a casually athletic frame that stretch, well over six feet. He exudes a quiet restlessness. He holds an M.D., a Ph.D., and two curricula vitae—one that lists eleven peer-reviewed publications on neuronal physiology, and another that describes dozens of sculptures, several of them commissioned and many gifts. The pivot between art and science started early. When Andrasfalvy was 10 years old, his father gave him a woodcarving set. By age 20, he had completed his first stone sculpture—and was on the path to medical school. Ever since, he’s spent weekends sculpting leftover granite or marble salvaged from graveyard and construction suppliers and weekdays doing research and crafting tools for scientists studying... “My philosophy is that there are only two things you can do to keep creative, like a child: art and science,” Andrasfalvy says. “In these fields, you can follow your curiosity. How does this work? What does it look like? Everything else is a job.”—he says. (By Kathryn Brown) His works are born as abstraction of thoughts and feelings. The adventure is to spell out them without saying it, just give the essence, no more. Only the minimum clues are given in them to recognize what they are, and no more. Beside the most characteristic feature of the intended art piece, many of them had a different, second meaning, like the fish is a hook, too, or the bat is a book, or the neuroscientist’s palette is a slice from a hippocampus. Ludic creations are born from contentment while trials and tribulations induce a state of mind capable of conceiving the transcendental.

This work is unsigned. We were told it was the work of Seymour Lipton but as there is further documentation we are selling it as attributed and cannot guarantee it as such.
Seymour Lipton (1903 – 1986) was an American abstract expressionist sculptor. He was a member of the New York School who gained widespread recognition in the 1950s. He initially trained as a dentist, like fellow sculptor Herbert Ferber, receiving his degree from Columbia University in 1927. In the late 1920s, he began to explore sculpture, creating clay portraits of family members and friends. His early choices of medium changed from wood to lead and then to bronze, and he is best known for his work in metal. Like his contemporary, Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock, and Arshile Gorky Lipton was influenced by Carl Jung’s work on the unconscious mind and the regenerative forces of nature. He translated these two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional maquettes that enabled him to revise his ideas before creating the final sculpture. The forms that Lipton produced during this period were often zoomorphic, exemplifying the tension between the souls of nature and the automatism of the machine. He made several technical innovations, including brazing nickel silver rods onto sheets of Monel to create rust resistant forms. Seymour Lipton is best known for his textured torch welded metal sculptures...
