Italian Mid-Century 'Arte Povera' Artist Wire Sculpture Chandeliers, Kounellis.
By Jannis Kounellis
Located in New York, NY
2 Rare, Original Artist Made Hanging Lighted Sculptures / Chandeliers / Pendants in the style of Jannis Kounellis, Italy, circa 1970. Priced and Sold as Individual Pieces. These unique Italian Mid-Century Modern pieces are composed of steel wire, patinated in silver and lighted on the interior to reflect light through the prism of wire. These exceptional works reflect the "Arte Povera" movement that defined Italian art and sculpture circa 1962-1975 period. Arte Povera (Poor Art) rose as a reaction to rigid abstraction prevalent in Italian art and social conditions in Italian society. It used inexpensive everyday, industrial and native natural materials to create stunning, inscrutable and whimsical works of art that challenged the nature of art itself and reacted against industrial production and increasing consumerism. The fact these sculptures / "chandeliers" are made of such simple materials and simply bound into non-linear, organic forms concentrates their nature and gives them power. "From non-being comes being". They are emblems of latte 1960's/ early 70's culture and it is remarkable that they also function perfectly as beautiful objects and chandeliers. H 47 x D 22.5; overall H including pipe or chain is 57”. Please note: These are Priced and Sold as Individually. Additional References: Dada, Anti-Art, Post...

Tall French Sculptural Iron Abstract Art Piece, circa 1930s-1940s
Located in Atlanta, GA
A tall French sculptural iron art piece in a motif of rings from the 1930s-1940s. This unique sculpture from France, standing at approximately 6.6 feet in height, has a playful abstract vertical form made up of a series of rings, with circles clustering together making ball-like formations at the top and lower ends, and supported with a larger ring-shaped base. Within the center of this column-like structure, more circular rings are set in horizontal fashion, appearing to be suspended, reminiscent of steps connecting to upper and lower sections. This piece has been constructed of iron and has a wonderfully aged patina. This whimsical French sculpture would not only be fantastic on a patio, but also a great way to fill an otherwise bare corner in your home with great height, texture and conversational...
