About the Item

Transform any interior or exterior into a truly unique space with the dynamic works of an acclaimed sculptor Naomi Press. Naomi Press was one of the very few women working in large scale with steel in the second half of the 20th Century. Her works are on par with such artists as Beverly Pepper, Claire Falkenstein, and Louise Nevelson. Acclaimed New York dealer André Emmerich was thoroughly impressed with her work and exhibited it in his sculpture park, Top Gallant Farm. Aesthetic beauty and masterful craftsmanship of Press were also admired by arguably one of the most influential critics of the abstract expressionist era, Clement Greenberg. Press started working with steel, embracing the development of Modernist sculpture, when the object of art steps down from its base, enters the space of the viewer, and confronts the public face to face. She was one of the first sculptors to employ this groundbreaking idea. Naomi Press' works would be a wonderful addition to any outdoor or indoor space. Her elegant sculptures and their curved forms will enhance any scene. The smooth surfaces of the hard material and flowing shapes interact with the surroundings in which the artwork is placed, reacting to light and atmosphere. Press’ creations become an integral part of the environment they are placed in.
