About the Item

"Red Eye" is a kinetic sculpture by artist Moises Morgenstern. The sculpture can be installed indoors or outdoors. Measurements are 91" H x 87" W x 58" D. The sculpture is made of aluminum with stainless steel hardware and painted with industrial epoxy paint. The colors of this piece are red, black and white. Moises Morgenstern is a self-taught artist and explains that “Art has always been in my family and in my life.” His father was a jewelry designer; his mother is an architect; and his grandfather was a photographer. Since he was a young boy, Moises has always thought about design and sculpture. In 1991, he studied Graphic Design at Institute Soligraphica de Arte and started teaching photography. He was born in Caracas Oct. 23, 1969, and now resides in Miami, Florida. All of his techniques are self-taught from the welding to the construction of the sculpture. His technique uses aluminum, industrial epoxy paint and stainless steel hardware. Moises sculptures are created for both outdoor and indoor spaces. Reticent by nature, Moises Morgenstern seeks to communicate visually rather than verbally. His goal is to express his view of life through people’s eyes, animals’ eyes and what is reflected from the eye through a magnification of the optics of the eye. It is often said that “the eye is the window to the soul”. That sentiment has informed the work of Moises Morgenstern. When Morgenstern looks into someone’s eyes, he sees reflections and draws upon what he sees and gives those reflections form, ultimately trying to convey what that person perceives from the world. Morganstern expands the eye and enlarges it until it becomes a form with balance in order to create a physical manifestation of that form. He does not see people and the world as merely static; he sees music, movement and light and most of the sculptures contain movable components to reflect that perspective.

'Black Undulation' Kinetic Art, PVC and Plexiglass Sculpture
By Jose Margulis
Located in Rye, NY
‘Black Undulation’ is an abstract kinetic art wall sculpture created by Venezuelan artist Jose Margulis in 2017. Featuring a palette made of black and white, this PVC and plexiglass sculpture features a juxtaposition of lines, whose subtle variation of height and colors creates a combination of geometrical shapes. The minimalist quality of this piece infuses it with a sense of simplicity while the kinetic approach plays with our eye beautifully. Walking along the piece will allow you to embrace it fully. With its exquisite flowing 3D movement and nice proportions, this kinetic 2020 abstract sculpture will be a strong focal point in any room, whether placed above a sofa, console table or enfilade. Jose Margulis was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1970. He traces his love of art to his studying photography as a young man before working for his family’s digital printing business. Today he begins most of his pieces as a digital creation which he then brings to life in a 3D world. Most of his work is created with acrylic sheets of various colors, textures, shapes and levels of translucency. “I treat my three-dimensional pieces as light traps or secret blueprints, in which by controlling the placement of its components, I’m able to create intriguing 3-D containers.” The patterns and shapes of his pieces come alive based on the angles and intensity and saturation of light at any moment, or throughout the day. Jose tends towards a bright and fully saturated color palette which is heavily influenced by the traditional Mexican arts and craft...

Tony Rosenthal Abstract Sculpture Blackened Steel Red Blushes
By Tony Rosenthal
Located in Bloomfield Hills, MI
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY UNTITLED is an abstract blackened steel sculpture that has a continuous lively movement. The positioning of the heavy metal is suggestive of dance. There are similarities to the sculptors, Robert Sestok and Tony Smith, who both worked in bronze and painted steel with similar cut out pieces and abstract designs. Untitled has a joyous aura and its small size makes it a charming intimate piece. It might have been a maquette for a much larger piece. The design works in this 14" height as it would in a 14' height. There is a Letter of Certification that will accompany the sculpture. Tony Rosenthal (1914 - 2009) is best known for creating a staggering list of monumental public art sculptures. For over seven decades Tony Rosenthal created an arc of sculpture in a variety of sizes, styles and media, including wood, steel, bronze, brass, cement and aluminum. Every day millions see, enjoy and interact with art created by Rosenthal in cities around the world. In New York City alone, five Rosenthal public art sculptures have been beloved and visible 24/7 for over four decades, yet Rosenthal is not a household name. Art dealer Joseph K. Levene, told The New York Times, Tony Rosenthal "reminds me of a character actor. You know the face but not the name. With him, you know the art." Tony Rosenthal dedicated his life to creating art and actively created sculpture everyday in his Southampton, New York studio until he passed away at the age of 94, July 28, 2009. At nine Rosenthal learned the fundamentals of carving sculpture when his mother, an opera singer enrolled him in children's classes at the Art Institute of Chicago where he learned how to carve sculptures in soap. In 1936 Rosenthal earned a B.F.A. from the University of Michigan, and in 1952 became the first instructor of sculpture at the University of California, Los Angeles. In 1950 Rosenthal was recipient of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s sculpture award; in 1967, Rosenthal received the outstanding achievement award from the University of Michigan and in 1963 a Ford Foundation Grant. 
After graduating from the University of Michigan, Rosenthal became studio assistant to Alexander Archipenko, the figurative master sculptor, casting bronzes in exchange for sculpture lessons; at night, Rosenthal taught evening classes in drawing and sculpture. In 1939, Rosenthal enrolled at Cranbrook Academy of Art, studying with Carl Milles, Cranbrook's sculptor in residence; there, Rosenthal forged friendships with husband and wife designers Charles Eames and Ray Eames and the sculptor Lilian Swann Saarinen the wife of architect, Eero Saarinen.   Decades later Rosenthal acknowledged his gratitude to Cranbrook by donating his archives to them. The Cranbrook Cube, 1984, a 90" painted aluminum cube is in the Cranbrook Museum collection. In 1942, Rosenthal was drafted into the U.S. Army; while stationed in Paris Rosenthal forged friendships with George Braque, Andre Derain, Le Corbusier and Constantin Brancusi, routinely organizing and accompanying groups of soldiers on studio visits. Through multiple visits to Brancusi's Paris studio, Rosenthal learned to create and forge metal sculpture...
