About the Item

A sculpture by Harry Bertoia. "Untitled (Suspended Willow)" is an abstract, steel and steel wire sculpture by Post War artist Harry Bertoia. The willow form is one of Harry Bertoia's most desirable forms, inspired by the willow trees on his property in Pennsylvania. Apart from the optical effect created by the wires, the wires move when passed by or touched and generate sounds. The tones vary depending on the length, thickness and type of metal. Bertoia called them ‘Sonambient’ for the organic, peaceful tones they generated.

Untitled (Wheat)
By Harry Bertoia
Located in Greenwich, CT
Bertoia'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...
