Welded, brazed sculpture on wooden base This is not signed or dated This work is unsigned. We were told it was the work of Seymour Lipton but as there is further documentation we are selling it as attributed and cannot guarantee it as such. Seymour Lipton (1903 – 1986) was an American abstract expressionist sculptor. He was a member of the New York School who gained widespread recognition in the 1950s. He initially trained as a dentist, like fellow sculptor Herbert Ferber, receiving his degree from Columbia University in 1927. In the late 1920s, he began to explore sculpture, creating clay portraits of family members and friends. His early choices of medium changed from wood to lead and then to bronze, and he is best known for his work in metal. Like his contemporary, Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock, and Arshile Gorky Lipton was influenced by Carl Jung’s work on the unconscious mind and the regenerative forces of nature. He translated these two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional maquettes that enabled him to revise his ideas before creating the final sculpture. The forms that Lipton produced during this period were often zoomorphic, exemplifying the tension between the souls of nature and the automatism of the machine. He made several technical innovations, including brazing nickel silver rods onto sheets of Monel to create rust resistant forms. Seymour Lipton is best known for his textured torch welded metal sculptures...

Bold and dynamic abstract composition titled "The Playful Journey" by Stephen Schulz (American, b. 1948). Schulz has used various types of acrylic paint, mixed with silicon to create a variety of textures. Signed and dated "Schulz 97" on verso, with an inscription that reads "For Leo and his Beautiful Family". Wood support frame on verso. Stephen Schulz (American, b. 1948) is an artist who has lived and worked in Fresno and Santa Cruz, California, and Cedar Grove, New Jersey. He has studied privately with Julie Connell, Jan Daniels, Michele Faia, Elle Fielder, Sal Pecoraro, Susan Stover, and Chris Volpe. Artist’s Statement: “My painting and artistic expression opens the doorway into an unconscious and creative world, where an uninhibited expression can take place, as one becomes immersed without the perception of time. Painting and design started it. From the beginning the process of transforming materials into art has struck me as a magical alchemy and, over the years, that mysterious process has had its hold on me, leading me from hobby to art. The creative process fills me with a sense of wonder and has proven a most amenable vehicle for transforming inner vision to outer reality. I paint from the inside out. Though I work quite deliberately, consciously employing both traditional and innovative techniques, my unconscious is the region of the most fertile of creative soil. I love working with a full complement of colors but often find my design direction working within the narrow spectrum of black and white, shadow and light. Some of my early inspiration comes from the New York School and artists such as Franz Kline and Jackson Pollock. Their ideas and techniques have helped to free my mind to explore areas of the unconscious that aren’t restricted by the world of right and wrong, good and bad. The journey continues and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to explore this exquisite world of the creative process.” Education: University of Oklahoma: 1966-1967 Canada College, AA Degree: 1972-1974 University of California: 1974-1975 Exhibitions: 2014 - Studio show Fresno, CA 2010 - Dubai (UAI) Animal rights show; Gallery 10, Washington, DC 2008, 2009 - Jia Salon & Gallery, Fresno, CA 2007 - Studio Exhibition 2006 - Cabrillo College 2004 - Studio Exhibition 2000, 2001, 2002 - Rollf's Gallery, Fresno, CA 2000 - Studio show; Bridgeport Gallery, CT 1999 - Tercera Gallery, Los Gatos, CA; Matt Miller Design, SF, CA 1998 - Robin Hutchins Gallery, NJ; Teroera Gallery Los Gatos, CA; Verve Gallery Los Angeles, CA; Open Studio Aptos, CA; Brigitte Bohlem, Hamburg, Germany 1997 - Robin Hutchins Gallery, NJ; Teroera Gallery, Los Gatos, CA; Verve Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; The Pope Gallery, Santa Cruz, CA; Hanson Art Source, Tennessee 1996 - Robin Hutchins Gallery, NJ; Teroera Gallery Los Gatos, CA; Verve Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; The Pope Gallery Santa Cruz, CA; Hanson Art Source, Tennessee; Barlett Fine Arts, Pleasant, CA; Birchstone, Gallery, Wisconsin 1995 - Abrahamsen Design; Teroera Gallery Los Gatos, CA; Verve Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; The Pope Gallery Santa Cruz, CA; Hanson Art Source, Tennessee; Barlett Fine Arts, Pleasant, CA; Birchstone, Gallery, Wisconsin; l&I Gallery, NJ; Gillen Design, London Ontario Canada...

'Maina' is a contemporary abstract cast glass sculpture by David Ruth from his Internal Space series. It features painterly brushstroke formations in glass called trails. Trails are created through rolling molten glass into various forms and shapes. They are then placed within clear glass and fused into one large piece through kiln casting. This technique creates a layered, suspended, and vibrant three-dimensional space within. About the Internal Space Series: David’s experiments with sheet glass and fusing led him to try to make the glass thicker to see more interior space. It was during this time a professor pointed out that he was working with a metaphor, for which the internal space of the glass was the equivalent to the internal life of the mind. This became his operating mantra but also forced him to come to terms with the casting of thick sections. “Creating those internal spaces came with some problems. Other than telescope mirrors, I did not know that anyone annealed glass in a kiln for more than a day or two. When pieces cracked after five...

However, in the 1950s he shifted towards abstraction, exploring the interplay of color and form. Pellicone's mature style was characterized by his use of vibrant, saturated colors, often applied in thick layers of paint. His paintings often featured geometric shapes and organic forms, with a strong sense of movement and energy. In addition to his painting, Pellicone was also a respected teacher and arts administrator. He taught at the New York Institute of Technology and the State University of New York, and served as the director of the Islip Art Museum on Long Island. Pellicone's artwork was exhibited widely during his lifetime, and he was the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including a National Endowment for the Arts grant in 1977.

"Behind the Mask" Abstract Bronze Sculpture 21x12x7 in Ed. 4/8 by Ahmed Magdy Medium: Bronze sculpture with metal base About the Artist: Ahmed Magdy (b. 1987, Assiut, Egypt) is an Egyptian sculptor and visual artist whose practice investigates the intersections of cultural identity, collective memory, and the enduring dialogue between ancient civilizations and contemporary human experience. Raised in Upper Egypt, amid one of the richest landscapes of ancient Egyptian heritage, Magdy developed an early visual consciousness shaped by temples, archaeological sites, and the cultural legacy that stretches along the Nile Valley. Equally influential was the folklore of Upper Egypt: its myths, oral traditions, rituals, and social customs, which continues to inform the symbolic language of his work. Magdy graduated from the Faculty of Specific Education, Department of Art Education, Assiut University, in 2008. His engagement with sculpture, however, began several years earlier through intensive study and studio practice under two of Egypt’s leading contemporary sculptors, Mamdouh El Kook and Abdel Hadi El Weshahi. Working closely alongside El Weshahi in the completion of several sculptural projects provided Magdy with invaluable insight into one of the most significant sculptural practices in modern Egypt. For more than two decades, Magdy has developed a sculptural language rooted in the visual legacy of ancient Egyptian civilization while addressing contemporary questions of identity, memory, humanity, place, and cultural transformation. Rather than reproducing historical forms, his work reinterprets archaeological and symbolic references through a contemporary visual vocabulary, seeking to establish an ongoing conversation between history and the present. His sculptures frequently explore themes of belonging, coexistence, resilience, and the shared human condition, positioning cultural heritage as a living source of dialogue rather than a static historical reference. His work has been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions, biennials, symposia, and international cultural projects. Notable exhibitions include his solo exhibition States at Azad Art Gallery, Cairo (2023); the Arab Artists Exhibition within the International Ceramic Fair in Jingdezhen, China (2023); Echo of the Soul in New Delhi, India (2025); and exhibitions at the Grosseto Foundation for Culture and the Luzzetti Museum in Italy, alongside participation in the First Grosseto International Sculpture Symposium (2025). Magdy has maintained a long-standing artistic relationship with China. In 2015, he received an official invitation from the Ministry of Culture of China to design a permanent sculpture for the China–Arab Friendship Garden in Yinchuan. In 2018, he participated in the Rouchi City International Sculpture Exhibition, where he received Fourth Prize among seventy-five artists representing countries from around the world. His works are included in the collections of the Rouchi Museum and the Jingdezhen Contemporary Ceramic Art Museum. He was also invited as an artist-in-residence at Taoxichuan Art Center in Jingdezhen, one of the world’s leading centers for contemporary ceramic art. Among his major public art projects is his participation in the International Aswan Sculpture Symposium (2018), following his selection for the symposium’s workshop program in 2017, as well as the Second Cairo International Scrap Metal Sculpture...
