About the Item

Additional Information: Karl Stirner's works are inspired by other well known contemporaries... Harry Bertoia, Abbott Pattison, and James Bearden. “Karl brought new life to metal that had been discarded, whether from Bethlehem Steel, shipwrecks, or from his favorite scrapyard. He fused natural materials with manmade and juxtaposes smooth surfaces with rough and pitted ones to form organic shapes. Karl created a drama of contradiction, playing thick against thin, flexible against inflexible.” (source: stirner modern) Provenance: Collection of Kenneth Endick & Cynthia Starr, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, thence by descent. Marking(s); notes: signed, impressed signature; 1990 Country of origin; materials: unknown; patinated steel Please see our other Karl Stirner works listed on 1stdibs.

"Untitled" Sidney Gordin, Abstract Metal Steel Sculpture
By Sidney Gordin
Located in New York, NY
Sidney Gordin Untitled, 1958 Incised with initials Welded Steel 15 x 10 1/2 x 6 inches Provenance: Eric Firestone Gallery, New York On October 24, 1918, Sidney Gordin was born in Chelyabinsk, Russia. He spent his early years in Shanghai, China. At the age of four, he moved with his family to New York. Gordin’s nephew, Eliot Nemzer recalls that when Gordin was a child he attended “a dinner party with his parents. Someone showed him a book of pictures that when thumbed through quickly made the image appear to move. This person then gave him a wad of blank papers and something to write with. Sid created a similar type of moving image with his materials. All the adults at the party became quite excited [and] praised his efforts. Sid told me he thought this was a pivotal experience in guiding him towards his vocation.” During his formative years at Brooklyn Technical High School, he briefly contemplated the idea of becoming an architect; yet, by the time he enrolled at Cooper Union, he was determined to become a professional artist. There, he studied under Morris Kantor (1896-1974) and Leo Katz...

"Ambient Flow, " Abstract Steel Sculpture
Located in Westport, CT
This mid-sized abstract contemporary sculpture by Joe Sorge is made with steel, orange dye, and wax. The warm-toned piece features a strip of steel metal that twists and turns in a flowing, spiraling movement. It casts unique shadows on its surroundings, which change in altering light. Please note that the white pedestal base pictured in the image gallery is not included. Connecticut-based sculptor Joe Sorge studied at the School of Visual Art (SVA) in New York City. While Joe's body of work is most often made with stainless steel which he sometimes dyes to give the forms bold, solid colors, he also experiments with stone carving, genesa crystals, tiger eye alabaster and others. He works with a variety of colors, finishes, and textures, to create the final piece. Joe's sculptures express the fluidity and tension inherent in the material he uses. His work draws on a modernist vocabulary to create abstract, often whimsical objects...
