c. 1970
About the Item
Moving Planes dates from the period in Iommi’s body of work that corresponds to the so-called “Baroque” period of Concrete Art. This is a sophisticated work that picks up exploring in new materials where Cubism left off. The appeal of this is its delicacy and thinness that makes it feel more like a cut-out idea than a bronze or heavy medium of the past could achieve. Thus it has a lyrical feel to it.
Great piece to put on a table or anywhere due to its lightness and ability to move around and transform any spot.
It has a new base, was signed in the original base of which we retain an image to go with the work along with a certificate of guarantee to its originality.
Throughout the early 20th century, the artist asserted his essential identity as a Modern sculptor. As is evident here, Iommi was known for manipulating metal surfaces—performing cuts, deconstructing planes, and reforming lines—in order to establish new virtual volumes and define new spaces. Iommi became a member of the National Fine Arts Academy in 1975, but renounced the title in 1999, finding the limitations of his title too restrictive and static. It was during the 1970s, with pieces like Moving Planes, that Iommi first began to break away from the accepted definition of Concrete aesthetics and turned his efforts and work toward a broader critique of industrialization, using the art market as a self-referential and ironic basis upon which to critique modern consumer culture.
Born in a family of artists (both his father, Santiago Girola and his brother, Claudio Girola were sculptors), Enio Iommi started practicing sculpture in his father's workshop in 1936. In 1937 he studied drawing in Enrico Forni's atelier in Buenos Aires.
Iommi formed part of the generation of artists who introduced avant-garde in Latin America. In 1946 he was a founder of the Arte Concreto-Invención group, which aesthetic concern was exclusively with the forms, shapes, and colors, dissociated from any sort of figuration or representation of reality. His works of this period were executed in stainless steel, aluminum, wood, bronze and acrylics. From 1977 he radically changed his style, producing assemblages and installations as a way of making a criticism to the country's government, the Military junta.

"Nimbus" - abstract sculpture - Barbara Hepworth
By Susan Hable
Located in Atlanta, GA
Susan Hable is inspired by the work of David Hockney, Milton Avery, Henri Matisse, Alex Katz, Howard Hodgkins, Hilma af Klint, Georgia O'Keeffe, Barbara Hepworth and Constantin Brâncuși.
With humor and a bit of mischief, Susan Hable’s “Don't Pick The Flowers!” is a body of work that is at once a refuge and a playground. Inspired by her sumptuous garden just outside of her Athens studio, Susan flows from one medium to the next from painting to collage to sculpture. Susan sees her garden as a place for adventure and daydreaming, challenging her perceptions of what her Art can be. Even a weedy ground cover has caught Susan’s eye, an overlooked invasive is seen in a new light becoming a dreamlike fairytale path. Her work asks us to engage in life, go for a walk and play.
