American Contemporary Abstract Brutalism Sculpture in Iron, Wood & Tin, c. 1970s

About the Item

American Contemporary Abstract Brutalism Abstract Sculpture Iron, Wood & Tin c. 1970s DIMENSIONS Total height: 48 inches Sculpture height: 37.25 inches Base height: 10.75 inches Width: 21 inches Depth: 20 inches ABOUT This impressive sculpture stands as a striking contrast of scale and material. Its large size and intricate design draw the eye, yet it conveys a surprising sense of lightness and airiness, as if caught in mid-motion. The chaotic arrangement evokes the image of a flock of birds, their forms seemingly disordered, yet suspended effortlessly in the air. Despite the heaviness of the materials—iron, wood, and tin—each element is thoughtfully arranged, allowing the piece to transcend its raw, industrial nature. The result is a dynamic, almost ethereal structure that plays with the tension between heaviness and grace, capturing the fleeting essence of flight in a permanent form.
