About the Item

A fine figurative abstract metal sculpture titled “Floating Angel” by American artist Judith Brown (1932-1992). Brown was born in New York City, attended Sarah Lawrence College of New York (B.A., 1954) where she learned to weld from her teacher, Theodore Roszak, a pioneering abstract expressionist sculptor. As a sculptor, she was drawn to images of the body in motion and its effect on the cloth surrounding it. She welded crushed automobile scrap metal into energetic moving torsos, horses, and flying draperies. Brown's work was exhibited widely throughout the United States and Europe, featured in group shows at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts, the Boston Arts Festival, The New Britain Museum of American Art, and many other galleries and museums. Brown's one-person exhibitions include shows at Zygos Gallery in Cyprus and Galeriea de Antonio Souza in Mexico City, as well as galleries and museums in Vermont, Florida, and New York City. Brown's artwork was also displayed in windows at Tiffany's and Bonwit Teller in their New York City department stores. Abstract painted metal sculpture on metal stand, unsigned. Good overall condition, with paint flaking, wear and loss in areas from exterior exposure. Dimensions: Approximately 84 in H x 59 in W x 49 in D. Ref: 8
