About the Item
A brutalist Reddy sculpture titled "Demonstrators" by noted mid-century artist, Krishna Reddy (1925-2018). This piece is also sometimes referred to as "The Vision". It features a group of united figures holding hands raised in the air. Originally done in bronze, this is a cast resin version that is finished with a bronze glaze. Signature inscribed on the base.
Reddy was born in 1925 in India. He earned his fine arts diploma from Visva-Bharati University in Santiniketan, West Bengal, where he formed mentorships with Nandalal Bose and Ramkinkar Baij. After moving to London in 1949 and receiving a certificate in fine arts from the Slade School of Arts, he studied sculpture in Paris with Ossip Zadkine at the Academie Grande Chaumiere and engraving—specifically, multicolor viscosity etching—with Stanley William Hayter at his Atelier 17, where Reddy later served as codirector. He nurtured friendships with Constantin Brancusi and Alberto Giacometti. In addition to being an enthusiastic pupil—he also studied sculpture in London with Henry Moore and in Italy with Marino Marini—Reddy became a teacher at places like New York University, the Maryland Institute College of Art, Pratt Institute, and the University of Texas, among other institutions. When he moved to New York in 1976, he formed the Color Print Academy.
Reddy remained attuned to injustice throughout his life, participating in protests, including those of the Quit India movement. Amid Paris’s turbulent revolution in May 1968, he made the intaglio print titled Demonstrators and a pair of bronze sculptures titled Demonstration, which portray ethereal figures with their arms raised and are among his most famous works. The artist was recognized with numerous awards, and his work is held in the collections of institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Tate Britain, the Kiran Nadar Museum in New Delhi, and M+ in Hong Kong.
