About the Item
This is a classic work by Roger Phillips, who is noted for his meticulously designed "kinetic" sculptures. This is a table top model meaning it is light enough and sized to be on a table. He also executed large outdoor works and his craftsmanship and execution is immaculate. he uses bearings and brushed stainless steel, to construct these works in a seamless way. The inner circles can be removed from their mounts. They are powder coated with automotive paint and have a nice lustre to them.
They are meant to be moved with one's touch. Unless there is a breeze ind-doors they do not really move by themselves.
They are a beloved addition to many rooms sculpture for their playfulness and very contemporary edge and while not large - they attract attention and are a real accent.
Not many sculptures like this exist because it takes refined knowledge, work and patience to construct.
This piece had some very light touch up that does not show when living it - upon very close scrutiny. Slight scratch to base near mount - very surface light. And a slight bend in a rod which may have been done by the artist as it is steady in its spot and looks like it was installed that way.

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.

Aria (Red)
By Eric Johnson
Located in Santa Monica, CA
Eric Johnson creates enigmatic and sensual abstract sculptures that are constructed with pigment, wood and resin. Johnson’s work seamlessly unites two traditions of Southern California art - the sleek and sexy aesthetic of the Finish Fetish movement and the organic and elegant tradition of woodworking. His handcrafted pieces are sheathed in resin skins, which often reveal glimpses of the wooden architectures encased within. Endlessly fascinated by physics and science, Johnson’s references range from cosmology and astrophysics to the human form.
Johnson’s work is deeply personal - in addition to drawing inspiration from his ancestral boat-building heritage (which is Norwegian, Scottish and Cree Native...
