About the Item

Wang Keping Wings Bronze with black patina 11 x 16 x 5 in, 28 x 41 x 13 cm Signed and numbered on the reverse upper right Edition 8 + 4 AP Private Collection of Didier Marien Born in 1949, Wang Keping is one of the founders of contemporary Chinese art, founder of the avant-garde group called « The Stars » (Xing Xing) formed in 1979 and played a key role in the cultural revolution in China in the 1970s, later taking exile in France, where he moved in 1984. This expatriation came along with a sliding of political subjects towards a more personal and more contemplative approach centered on the body, essentially feminine. Wang Keping works in the genre of bronze and wooden sculpture, for which he has always used traditional Chinese techniques of fire-blackening. As an artist, he shows his respect to the wood by highlighting its natural curves. His work is guided by peculiarities of the material, accentuating uncluttered forms and movements, as he develops his own language of organic sculpture.

  • La Petite Semeuse [The Little Sower]
    Located in New York, NY
    Pollès The Little Sower La Petite Semeuse 2010 Bronze 14 x 8 x 8 in, 36 x 21 x 19 cm\ Edition 1/4 In continuity to the tradition of Greek sculpture, Pollès's works lie between Brancusi’s purity, Henry Moore’s figurative abstraction and Modigliani’s flowing siluets and forms. Considered as the inventor of the “Organic Cubism”, Pollès is immediately identifiable through this distant reminiscence of Picasso’s Cubism, mixed with great sensitivity and voluptuousness that characterize his subjects. His personal vision of beings in motion, his sculptures with extraordinary patinas, break the pure aesthetic and create a new, very intimate, mythology. Pollès has been in collaboration with the Boccara gallery...

    By Menashe Kadishman
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Beautiful table top sculpture by renowned Israeli sculptor Menashe Kadishman. Super quality, and visually stunning. it is signed and numbered and dedicated Janet love george Menashe Kadishman was born in Tel-Aviv in 1932. He is a Graduate of St. Martin's School of Art, University of London. From 1947 to 1950, Kadishman studied with the Israeli sculptor Moshe Sternschuss at the Avni Institute of Art and Design in Tel Aviv, and in 1954 with the Israeli sculptor Rudi Lehmann in Jerusalem. In 1959, he moved to London, where he remained until 1972. He had his first one-man show there in 1965 at the Grosvenor Gallery. His sculptures of the 1960s were Minimalist in style and so designed as to appear to defy gravity. This was achieved either through careful balance and construction, as in Suspense (1966), or by using glass and metal so that the metal appeared unsupported, as in Segments (1968). In 1995, he began painting portraits of sheep. These instantly-recognizable sheep portraits...
