About the Item

Abstract Form is a mid-century modern sculpture by Dutch artist Leo De Beer, exemplifying his commitment to uncovering form from within. Rendered in a stylized and abstract manner characteristic of the era, the piece is carved from stone, lending it a sense of permanence and physical weight. De Beer’s approach reflects the aesthetics of mid-century modernism—favoring clarity, abstraction, and geometric or cubist-inspired forms over detailed realism. This visual language allows the work to convey both strength and elegance, two defining qualities of his broader oeuvre. Not signed - came from a Dutch dealer originally that had a body of work by this artist. Provenance: Provenance collection, NY

Splash
By Robert Cook
Located in Greenwich, CT
Robert Cook’s Splash sculpture draws inspiration from the iconic photograph of a drop of milk creating a circle and splash in a pool of milk. This fleeting moment of suspended motion sparked Cook’s exploration of how to capture such dynamic energy in a static form. Robert Cook was a great American sculptor and his works are in many museums and his iconic Dinoseras piece commands a spot on the street of New York at 51st Street. Important to note with this work that it is unique and there are no other casts. Cook sculpted in wax and when he cast this destroyed the wax and there was no mould. Very few sculptors work in this manner and it speaks to a very pure and altruistic form of sculpture. If perhaps he had been more commercially minded he would have done large editions but instead he valued singularity as in nature. In Splash, Cook freezes a moment of kinetic energy, capturing the elegant tension between impact and expansion. The sculpture embodies both grace and chaos, with a fluidity that suggests movement at the very instant it’s frozen in time. Cook’s mastery of his medium allows this dynamic moment to be immortalized in bronze, creating a powerful and emotional resonance that transcends the physical form, making Splash both a formal and philosophical exploration of time, space, and motion.
