1968-1969

About the Item

GEORGE SUGARMAN Threesome, 1968-1969 Acrylic on wood 84 3/4 x 156 x 120 inches Large sculpture. Space opens up ever more in Threesome (1968-1969), perhaps the most elegant and graceful of the artist's 1960s sculptures. Its trio of trim vertical elements are distinguished in classic Sugarman style by their colors: pale blue, bright red, and, for a two-part unit, yellow and white. The fact that the sculpture's only two-part unit is also the only element with two colors instead of one is among this work's many subtle dynamics. Threesome does brilliant things with right angles and sloping lines, and as viewers move around and among its stretched-out uprights, they discover that the sculpture's open forms must simultaneously be looked at and through. - Raphael Rubinstein

  • American Contemporary Sculpture by Scott Troxel - Ultra Marine
    By Scott Troxel
    Located in Paris, IDF
    Artwork made with birch, acrylic, satin lacquer & metallic gold venetian plaster UltraMarine is a mixed media wall sculpture. Made from acrylic washes on birch, MDF and gold metallic Venetian plaster paint. Finished with an elegant satin clear lacquer to enhance the wood grain. The multiple opacities of navy and indigo are almost denim-like in color and allow the brown wood grain to add texture and interest to the piece. Ultramarine takes on the abstract form of a soaring building or perhaps a church spire or other tall building in form.
