About the Item
Jeff Messerschmidt, an American artist and furniture designer best known for his innovative work in Lucite, takes the common dumbbell shape from ordinary to extraordinary, from utilitarian to artistic.
Each of these sleek heavy-weight and light-weight "dumbbells" is inscribed with the series, the number, signed and dated by the artist in the Lucite. They are constructed from Lucite cylinders with steel inserts and the geometric ends bound to their central cylindrical "handles" with metal bolts., a signature of Messerschmidt's designs for his iconic tables and chairs. Light in look and feel, and also reflecting light, these dumbbell forms are sleek sculptures with a sense of humor that brighten any tabletop, or room.
These rare sculptures have remained in a single family's collection since they were acquired from the artist in 1972.
The larger piece measures 8 inches H. x 8 inches W. x 8 inches D. with the smaller work measuring 4.5 inches H. x 3.75 inches W. x 3.75 inches D.
In very good unrestored original condition with a few minor scratches visible only in racking light.

Victor Salmones Signed Bronze Bust of a Young Child
By Victor Salmones
Located in Los Angeles, CA
An untitled signed bronze sculpture by the Mexican artist, Victor Salmones (1937 - 1989) from an edition of 10. Numbered 1 of 10. Signature "Victor Salmones. 1/10" in cast. In excellent original condition.
Victor Salmones (1937-1989) was the most widely known sculptor living and working in Mexico during his lifetime. His sculptures won him universal acclaim and are held in the collections of museums, corporations, cities, universities and private collectors in some 30 countries. During his career, he was highly sought after and increasingly involved in the execution of commissions for major public works around the world.
Salmones developed his love and talent for creating sculpture by working with clay in high school. He attended the Instituto de Bellas Artes (Mexican National Institute of Fine Arts), where he was an apprentice to the Bauhaus master, Otto Hoffman. He was trained to use the exacting, age-old lost wax method of casting and worked principally in bronze. Hoffman's encouragement led to the opening of Victor's own sculpture workshop in Cuernavaca in 1966.
In 1967, Salmones’ fluid bronze “Adam” won first prize at the Biennale Exposition of the National Museum of Modern Art. His work continued to win the highest critical acclaim at subsequent Biennale expositions, and in 1971, over hundreds of entries, his life-size bronze Narcissus...
