SALE ONE WEEK ONLY UNTITLED is an abstract blackened steel sculpture that has a continuous lively movement. The positioning of the heavy metal is suggestive of dance. There are similarities to the sculptors, Robert Sestok and Tony Smith, who both worked in bronze and painted steel with similar cut out pieces and abstract designs. Untitled has a joyous aura and its small size makes it a charming intimate piece. It might have been a maquette for a much larger piece. The design works in this 14" height as it would in a 14' height. There is a Letter of Certification that will accompany the sculpture. Tony Rosenthal (1914 - 2009) is best known for creating a staggering list of monumental public art sculptures. For over seven decades Tony Rosenthal created an arc of sculpture in a variety of sizes, styles and media, including wood, steel, bronze, brass, cement and aluminum. Every day millions see, enjoy and interact with art created by Rosenthal in cities around the world. In New York City alone, five Rosenthal public art sculptures have been beloved and visible 24/7 for over four decades, yet Rosenthal is not a household name. Art dealer Joseph K. Levene, told The New York Times, Tony Rosenthal "reminds me of a character actor. You know the face but not the name. With him, you know the art." Tony Rosenthal dedicated his life to creating art and actively created sculpture everyday in his Southampton, New York studio until he passed away at the age of 94, July 28, 2009. At nine Rosenthal learned the fundamentals of carving sculpture when his mother, an opera singer enrolled him in children's classes at the Art Institute of Chicago where he learned how to carve sculptures in soap. In 1936 Rosenthal earned a B.F.A. from the University of Michigan, and in 1952 became the first instructor of sculpture at the University of California, Los Angeles. In 1950 Rosenthal was recipient of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s sculpture award; in 1967, Rosenthal received the outstanding achievement award from the University of Michigan and in 1963 a Ford Foundation Grant. 
After graduating from the University of Michigan, Rosenthal became studio assistant to Alexander Archipenko, the figurative master sculptor, casting bronzes in exchange for sculpture lessons; at night, Rosenthal taught evening classes in drawing and sculpture. In 1939, Rosenthal enrolled at Cranbrook Academy of Art, studying with Carl Milles, Cranbrook's sculptor in residence; there, Rosenthal forged friendships with husband and wife designers Charles Eames and Ray Eames and the sculptor Lilian Swann Saarinen the wife of architect, Eero Saarinen.   Decades later Rosenthal acknowledged his gratitude to Cranbrook by donating his archives to them. The Cranbrook Cube, 1984, a 90" painted aluminum cube is in the Cranbrook Museum collection. In 1942, Rosenthal was drafted into the U.S. Army; while stationed in Paris Rosenthal forged friendships with George Braque, Andre Derain, Le Corbusier and Constantin Brancusi, routinely organizing and accompanying groups of soldiers on studio visits. Through multiple visits to Brancusi's Paris studio, Rosenthal learned to create and forge metal sculpture...

Artist John Brevard's Thought-Provoking Sculpture Series Unveiled During Art Basel in Miami 2023 and present at Milan Design Week 2025 — Designer John Brevard and digital artist Trippy present "Thoscene-Deceptive Realities," a thought-provoking art installation crafted from recycled steel. This creation challenges societal divisions, acting as a mirror to reveal the theatrical nature of political discourse. Brevard's unique fractal design captures the complexities of human experience, encouraging viewers to look beyond surface appearances and reconsider interactions with divisive narratives. "Thoscene" symbolizes the fleeting nature of political stories, urging a more unified understanding of our collective psyche. This installation invites audiences to contemplate the illusions within political discourse and reevaluate narratives shaping perspectives. "Thoscene-Deceptive Realities" highlights the transformative power of art in challenging societal norms and fostering a harmonious collective consciousness. The installation will soon head to Korea. The outside finish can be in different styles: recycled grey steel, off-white, or wabi-sabi with raw, unglazed, and untreated clay. About John Brevard John Brevard is an American architectural designer and artist who draws inspiration from the principles of natural order. After a near-death experience at the age of 14, Brevard developed a fascination with fractals, sacred geometry, biomimicry, and the subtle energies of spaces. This curiosity propelled him on a research journey that has significantly influenced his design practice and philosophy. Brevard is a global speaker and member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). About Trippy Labs / @trippy Trippy, a digital artist and founder of Trippy Labs, commands a vast following in the digital art scene with 1.4 million Instagram followers.
