Lignum-Vitae Modernist Table Sculpture by Clark Fitz-Gerald

About the Item

A unique, hand hewn sculpture of solid ironwood (lignum-vitae) mounted on a wedge shaped wooden plinth base via threaded rod. The sculpture is formed from a large, single section of lignum-vitae, the outermost exterior ring of sapwood being lighter in color standing in relief and partially carved away allowing contrasting and discernible 'sections' which were then ‘chip-carved' to provide texture to the hollowed sections.

Amongst Dalí ’s specific furnishing projects, and constituting another for his curriculum vitae as a designer, may be counted the garden furnishings for his Portlligat house, the complete architecture of the Night Club (garotte-shaped) for the Hotel Presidente in Acapulco (1957) and another project for a bar in California in the ‘forties. As shown by the small selection now produced and included in this catalogue, Dalí ’s work was not restrictes to the traditional furnishing elements, but included tap fittings, handles, door-pulls, printed fabrics and objets of indeterminate use. In the 1990s a group of experts, led by Oscar Tusquets, set themselves the task of turning the furniture Dalí had drawn for Jean-Michel Frank into reality. Amongst these items were the Leda chair...
