About the Item

Abstract Bronze sculpture 'La grande fleur de l'espace' by Sergio Storel (Italy 1926 - Paris 2017), France 1969. The sculpture is created in a beautiful open way, Storel explored how he could use flat, bent steel and form a three-dimensional whole where the lines and edges merge down with the imagination. Additionally, Storel studied how the openness of the work allows it to blend even more into the surrounding space, evoking a sense of fluidity. Hence the name 'La grande fleur de l'espace' (The Great Flower of Space). The work is stripped of all figurative references, reduced to its purest, most minimal expression into this powerful modern shape. Storel’s minimalist approach gives the piece a timeless, modern aesthetic. In addition to his artistic vision, Storel was renowned for his exceptional skill and admiration for working with steel. As his widow described, Storel "danced with the steel" to bring his sculptures to life, a testament to his intimate relationship with his materials and the care he took in crafting each piece. Storel moved to Paris in 1958 after studying and working for a time in the studio of his uncle, the famous sculptor Toni Benetton. The international art scene of Paris attracted him, and it was here where he established his own career and style. Storel is considered a prominent figure in the post-war sculpture scene. His works found their way into important private - and museum collections. The sculpture is signed, dated and numbered: Storel 1969, 1-4. Stamped with the monogram of the foundry. In excellent original condition.
