Bronze Bonsai Tree Sculpture by Brutalist Artist Belva Ball

About the Item

This mid-20th century Brutalist bronze bonsai tree sculpture, a masterful creation by the renowned American artist Belva Ball, stands as a testament to her influence within the Brutalist movement. Crafted from hundreds of meticulously welded bronze pieces, the sculpture intricately captures the essence of a bonsai tree. Its roots, also fashioned from bronze, secure the piece to a wooden base, creating a harmonious blend of strength and delicacy. Belva Ball's significance within the Brutalist movement is underscored by the commanding presence of this sculpture, originally commissioned for a Chicago office building in 1968. Collected fervently for decades, Ball's work continues to resonate, exemplifying the enduring impact of her artistic vision on the world of sculpture and Brutalist art.
