About the Item

American Contemporary Brutalism Abstract Sculpture Iron ca. 1970s DIMENSIONS Height: 13.5 inches Width: 8.25 inches Depth: 4.25 inches ABOUT This striking iron table sculpture captures the bold spirit of artistic experimentation from its time. Every aspect of the piece is unconventional, from the choice of material to its unique shape and composition. The use of iron, usually seen as a strong industrial material, contrasts with the sculpture's frontal design, challenging traditional ideas about both the medium and its purpose. The shape is unexpected—hard to define, pushing the limits of what we think of as functional art. The way the frontal pieces are arranged creates a sense of tension and balance, as if the sculpture is frozen in a moment of change. This piece reflects the attitude of the 1960s, an era of dramatic shifts in culture and art. During this time, artists sought to break free from tradition, embracing the new and celebrating innovation. The sculpture, with its raw, rusted beauty, perfectly captures the spirit of the era, where art was more than just an object—it was an experience that challenged and expanded how we think about form and function.
