Unsigned. From estate that also had a nail wall sculpture, now listed. William Bowie was a sculptor based in New York City from 1954 to 1994. He is best known for his works using welded gold leaf and steel nails. As a contemporary of Harry Bertoia, Curtis Jere, and William and Bruce Friedle, Bowie can be considered a founding figure in the mid-century American metal sculpture genre.
