About the Item
Marianne Hesselbjerg, Everything flows – A Washbasin 2020,
Measures: 6 m x 1 m x 0,92 m
aluminium, stainless steel, plastic.
Everything flows - A Washbasin by Danish sculptor Marianne Hesselbjerg is a sculpture first of all, it also invites practical use.
’Everything flows’ is a frase attributed to Heraclitus, on of the ancient philosophers (circa 540 – 480 BCE). It means that the psysical world is constantly changing, in flux. In Marianne Hesselbjerg’s sculptural washbasin, the water is not the only thing that flows. The sculpture was cast in a six-metre-long hole in the ground, the molten aluminium flowing along the mould before it solidified and found its shape. In this way, the ever–changing flow has been arrested for us to see.
In 2020 the artist received an honorary award from the Carl Nielsen and Anne Marie Carl Nielsen Foundation. This work was created for an exhibition featuring all award winners at Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art in the autumn of 2020. SMK, The National Gallery of Denmark, was been given the opportunity to show the work until the spring of 2021. The presentation is supported by the New Carlsberg Foundation.

Antique 19th Century French Architectural Elements
- Rare Large Scale Plaster Sculpture “Le Soir” from Loriol-du-Comtat, France, 1914Located in Dallas, TXFound in a chateau in Loriol du Comtat, in the Provence region of France, this large-scale plaster sculpture is signed and dated by the artist, making it a rare find. Originally part of a boiserie containing a fireplace, the sculpture decorated the main hall of the chateau. The artist, Marius Sain, created the piece for the owners of the chateau in 1914. The lovely depiction of a shepherdess and her flock is a fitting subject for an area of France in which shepherding is such an important part of the culture. The preserved heritage of transhumance in Provence goes back at least 800 years, as evidenced by collections of ancient songs, stories, and art. Life-size in scale, the lovely sculpture features a mix of high-, mid-, and low-relief embellishments. A hooded shepherdess tends to her flock of sheep with a crook in hand. A dog sits calmly at her feet as the flock gathers in front of them. Both the shepherdess and the dog are in high relief, as is the lead sheep. The lamb seen suckling from the front sheep was crafted in mid relief, as is the visible head on the far right of the sculpture. There are a few sheep behind them in low relief. Large trees can be seen on either side of the group, while off in the background (faintly visible) are a castle with four fastigiate Mediterranean cypress trees (known as Stricta) and a spired church. The attention to detail is magnificent, with textured surfaces including the animals’ fur and the uneven ground. A previous owner (recently) had an iron and limestone stand created for displaying purposes. The cream-colored limestone has been cut into three pieces and is inset into the six-legged iron frame. Block print on the plaster can be seen just above the edge of the stand. The letters read Le Soir, which is French for “The Night”. The right side of the sculpture has been signed “M Sain 1914”. Marius Joseph Sain was born in 1877 in Avignon, France. In 1902, Sain moved to Paris to study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Through introductions by his older brother and painter, Paul...Category
