About the Item

These sculptures are automatic room changers. They bring playfulness, sophistication and a slightly more structured "Calder type" Contemporary classiness to an environment. Kinetic sculptures with color and constructed of stainless steel of this quality and and workmanship are difficult to find. Phillips has been avidly collected for his small scale maquettes that change the nature of any environment. They sit on coffee table, consoles or mantles. They exude a structured level of geometry and form. These were done in small editions one at a time! Doubtful there will be sculptors going forward that will create such well done works as it takes a type of precision and dedication not easily found. Roger Phillips had a great career and his works are placed large and small all throughout the United States and was represented by the Graham Galleries in New York 15 3/4 x 11 1/8 x 8 1/2 inches Edition No. 2/10 Signed and edition underneath

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.
