Bertoia-Style Spray-Spread Sculpture

About the Item

This sculpture in the style of Val Bertoia's work is similar in style to the Sonambient series. In the later period of his career, Bertoia began to focus on sculpture that interacted with viewers. He used his Sonambient Sculpture series to produce sounds, by manipulating the metal and other materials, a sculptor of kinetic objects, many of them with mazes of thin rods that appear brush-like. This example is a large and interesting tabletop variation. The sculpture features a metal base with slim metal rods affixed to it. Movement comes via kinetic energy upon placing the piece into its desired location.
