"La Petite Sphere" Bronze Abstract Sculpture by Emile Gilioli
Located in Stamford, CT
A bronze sculpture on marble base by Emile Gilioli entitled "La Petite Sphere". This piece will be included in "The Forth Coming" catalog which is being produced by The Gilioli Archive.
"Emile Gilioli was born to a family on Italian shoemakers who had settled beside the Canal Saint-Martin. After the first World War, the family moved back towards Italy, settling in Nice.

After the war, Gilioli settled in Saint-Martin-de-La-Cluze near Grenoble, where he sculpted in his workshop. His art was associated in a certain way with the deeds of the French Renaissance. He became friendly with Thomas Gleb...
