Umberto Del Negro
Statuette, Metal Sculpture, Psychological and Naturalistic

About the Item

This small metal statuette exemplifies the Italian artist Umberto Del Negro's interest in playing with the themes of civilization and nature. From multiple angles this piece could appear to be an old world military helmet or one of the stranger creatures from the depth of the ocean. What it actually is, as is often with Del Negro's work, is within the eye of the beholder. Umberto Del Negro was a late 20th Century Italian artist. He was born in 1940. His artwork encompasses multiple mediums from mosaic, sculptures, and paintings. His work's subject matter spans an interest in the natural world and society's relationship to it, themes that he explores through his creative usage of each individual work's medium. The artist passed away in 2017. Photos by PD Rearick

  • "Untitled" 1963 pre-Star Wars Space Ship Cast Bronze Signed & Dated
    By Julius Schmidt
    Located in Detroit, MI
    SALE ONE WEEK ONLY This Pre-Star Wars Space Ship captures the magic, power and volume of unidentified objects that pass through our solar system and within viewing site of spaceship Earth. Titled "Untitled" this piece has the monumental quality and style of a spaceship that has been circling the universe forever. Constructed in 1963, prior to film industry creatives scaring viewers with visions of unimaginable spacecraft come to destroy earth, Julius Schmidt's imagination was unstoppable with his numerous and unique cast bronze sculptures. This extraordinary piece is a heart stopping example of what a genius creative can produce. It was exhibited in March 9 - 31, 1963 at the Otto Gerson Gallery, New York, NY. A Catalog of the show accompanies this piece. Julius Schmidt is an American sculptor who earned his B.F.A. from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1953 and for the next two years studied sculpture under Ossip Zadkine in Paris and at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, Italy. He returned to Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, in 1955 for his M.F.A. in sculpture. Cranbrook was designed by architect and faculty member, Eliel Saarinen who collaborated with Charles and Ray Eames on chair and furniture design. Numerous creative artists who are alumni of Cranbrook include: Harry Bertoia, Florence Knoll, Jack Lenor Larsen, Donald Lipski, Duane Hanson, Nick Cave, Hani Rashid, George Nelson, Urban Jupena (Nationally recognized fiber artist), Artis Lane (the first African-American artist to have her sculpture, "Sojourner Truth," commissioned for the Emancipation Hall in the Capital Visitor Center in Washington DC), Cory Puhlman (televised Pastry Chef extraordinaire), Thom O’Connor (Lithographs), Paul Evans (Brutalist-inspired sculpted metal furnishings), Eugene Caples (small bronze images/abstract), Morris Brose (bronze sculptures), Herb Babcock...
