About the Item
Vertical House is a unique Black Carrara marble, Belgium black marble and steel sculpture by contemporary artist Francesca Bernardini. The sculpture is maintained on the Belgium black marble base, dimensions including the base are 150 × 35 × 35 cm (59.1 × 13.8 × 13.8 in).
The sculpture is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The artist's debut work was the 2000 series Nests, Cocoons, Crysalis. The sculptures in this collection are enclosed structures that evoke private, secure spaces: nests stand in for the home and the family, while cocoons and chrysalises are secure enclosings where one grows and changes in total safety. The sculptor's need to defend those she loves as well as her desire for a family and motherhood gave birth to the series during a personal internal exploration.
The smooth, rounded forms of Francesca Bernardini's marble sculptures are based on mental states, feelings, and individual experiences. The forms and volumes that give them shape are frequently influenced by the natural world and are rich in symbolism connected to enduring themes, such as individual growth, the value of interpersonal relationships, respect for nature, and the life cycle.

Francesca Bernardini’s marble sculptures, with their smooth, rounded forms, are rooted in states of mind, emotions and personal experiences. The shapes and volumes that give them form are often inspired by the natural world and are loaded with symbolism linked to universal themes: personal development, the importance of human interaction, respect for nature and the cycle of life. Francesca Bernardini participates in numerous sculpture symposia around the world such as in Morocco, Turkey, Taiwan, Chile, Iran and Brazil. During these professional excursions, the sculptor has the opportunity to create monumental sculptures. “Inspired by the observation of the microcosm of the natural world, my work highlights particular details and distorts dimensions, my forms becoming containers of past life or of inner or emotional metamorphoses.”

Large abstract ‘Verticali’ sculpture in by Roberto Cordone, Italy 1972
Located in Sittard, LI
Large abstract 'Verticali' sculpture by Italian artist Roberto Cordone, Italy 1972. This sculpture is made out of polished stainless steel and created for the German headquarters of Johnson & Johnson in Düsseldorf, this is a unique piece. All in a good original condition with wear and patina consistent with its age.
The sculpture stands 285cm (112.2 inch) tall, is 101cm (39.7inch) wide on both side and rests on a 116cm (45.6inch) round base.
The Verticali sculptures were conceived for the outdoors, anchored to the earth, often in correspondence with the surrounding architecture. They are stainless steel sculptures, larger than life, built by using segments of cylinders and spheres welded together in symmetrical or asymmetrical relationships.
Because of their highly polished, reflective metal surfaces, these sculptures reflect the surrounding environment and architecture and are in a constant process of change

By Chris Hill

This dynamic table sized sculpture is created from sheets of steel, welded together in an abstract geometric pattern and then painted with an acrylic paint to enhance the surface. While the work adheres to a rigid, rational geometry, this sculptures suggest lyrical movement, apparent weightlessness and improvisation as the title suggests.
