About the Item

ROBERT KLIPPEL (1920-2001) Opus 800 1989 Painted wood assemblage 146 x 334.5 x 85 cm 57.48 x 131.69 x 33.46 inches Cat. rais. no. 800 Regarded as Australia’s leading sculptor, Robert Klippel consistently developed a distinct personal language of sculptural forms over his long career. Approaching the surface of each work as a logical expression of its interior structure and processes, his ambition was to make sculpture inspired by a poetic synthesis between the twin energies – organic and mechanical – that he saw as defining life and culture in the 20th century.
